N2  - The 1930 population census of the former Dutch East Indies  (currently Indonesia) shows for the European population a striking  shortage in the age range 10-20. This paper deals with the possible  causes of this constriction in the age structure, in particular, the  phenomenon of European children attending secondary education  in the Netherlands. Using sample data from the city of The Hague,  it is estimated that the proportion of students in the Netherlands  born in the Dutch Indies was about 3 per cent, implying than the  teenager gap in the Dutch Indies was for about half due to a cohort  effect and for the other half due to the ‘education at home’ effect.
