[4] As of today, Cape Verdeans are part of the wider Portuguese-speaking community in the Netherlands, comprising around 35,000 people from PALOP countries (the overwhelming majority being from Angola or from Cape Verde), Timor-Leste or Macau,[5] 65,000 Brazilians[6] and 35,600 Portuguese.
[10] Smaller groups can be found in other cities such as Schiedam, Amsterdam, Zaanstad, and Delfzijl.
[11] Cape Verdeans generally have better labour market outcomes than other migrant groups like Turks or Moroccans, similar to those of Surinamese, but worse than those of natives.
[12] The various Cape Verdean-run hair salons of Rotterdam often serve as gathering points for the women of the community.
[13] The Cape Verdeans are also renown in the music industry and currently developing within the contemporary fine arts.
