<strong>Suriname best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by cremedelacreme04</i><br/>Suriname has a diverse population East Indians (known locally as Hindustanis) form the largest group at 37 % of the population. They are descendants of 19th century immigrants from India. The Creoles, mixed white and black, form about 31 %, while the Javanese ("imported" from the former Dutch East Indies) make up 15 %. Maroons (descendants of escaped African slaves) make up 10 % and are divided into five main groups: Aucans, Kwinti, Matawi, Paramaccans and Saramaccans. Amerindians form 3 % of the population (some say as low as 1 %), the main groups being the Akuriyo, Arawak, Carib, Tirío and Wayana. The remainder is formed by Chinese, Europeans, and Brazilian immigrant workers that have arrived in Suriname in recent times. A small Jewish community composed of several families, descendants of Sephardim who had earlier fled from Iberia to the Netherlands, also inhabit the country. They previously operated an autonomous region of Suriname called the "Jodensavanne".
Because of the great number of ethnic groups in the country, there is no one main religion. Most of the Hindustani are Hindu, but Islam and Christianity are also practised by them. Christianity is dominant among Creoles and Maroons.
This influences the type of family structure. Hindu and Islam would have traditional family structures with the father dominant. 31.6% of Surinamese are aged 0-15 so there are many young people and children in the country. There are 2.44 kids per female so the average family size is 2 to 3 children.</p>
