The rest of the Uruguayan population is African or white-African descent ("mulatos") , almost 5% or 6%. About 1 or 2% are of Asian descent, mostly are Lebanese/Syrian Arab, and Chinese or Japanese ancestry. Amerindians are nonexistent.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} Uruguay is the only country in America without this type of population. Uruguay has the most [[homogeneous]] population of the western hemisphere. |

Uruguay is distinguished by its high literacy rate (97.3%), large urban middle class, and relatively even income distribution. During the 1970s and 1980s, an estimated six-hundred thousand Uruguayans emigrated, principally to Spain, Italy, Argentina and Brazil. Other Uruguayans went to various countries in Europe, Australia and the USA. |

Most Uruguayans are descended from colonial-era settlers and [[Immigration to Uruguay|immigrants]] from Europe with almost 88% of the population being of either sole or partial [[European ethnic groups|European descent]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/portal/constituciones/pais.formato?pais=Uruguay&indice=datos|title=Constituciones hispanoamericanas|website=Cervantesvirtual.com|access-date=15 January 2018}}</ref> with a majority of these being [[Spaniards]], followed closely by [[Italians]], and smaller numbers of [[French people|French]], [[Germans]], [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]], British ([[English people|English]] or [[Scottish people|Scots]]), [[Irish people|Irish]], [[Swiss people|Swiss]], [[Russians]], [[Polish people|Poles]], [[Bulgarians]], [[Hungarians]], [[Ukrainians]], [[Lithuanians]], [[Estonians]], [[Latvians]], [[Swedish people|Swedes]], [[Danish people|Danes]], [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[Belgians]], [[Austrians]], [[Croats]], [[Serbs]], [[Greeks]] and others. |
|||
There are also smaller numbers of [[Western Asia]]n (Turks, Israelis, and Lebanese) and [[South Caucasus]] ethnic groups ([[Armenian people|Armenians]], [[Georgians]], and [[Azeris]]). |
|||
Many Swiss settlements (''colonias'' or "colonies"), such as Colonia Suiza, [[Colonia Valdense]] and [[Nueva Helvecia]], were founded in the department of [[Colonia Department|Colonia]]. Also, there are towns founded by early British settlers, such as [[Conchillas]] and [[Barker, Uruguay|Barker]]. A Russian colony called [[San Javier, Uruguay|San Javier]] was founded in the 1910s in the department of [[Río Negro Department|Río Negro]]. There are also [[Mennonite]] colonies in the department of Río Negro and in the department of [[Canelones Department|Canelones]]. |
|||
Many of the European immigrants arrived in the late 19th century and have heavily influenced the architecture and culture of Montevideo and other major cities. For this reason, Montevideo and life within the city are very reminiscent of Western Europe. |
|||
The rest of the Uruguayan population is Black/[[Afro-Uruguayan]] of African descent and about 1 or 2% are of Asian descent, mostly are Lebanese/Syrian Arab, and Chinese or Japanese ancestry. |
|||
[[Amerindians]] descendants make up a small population in the Rural North region, with [[Mestizo]]s making up 6% of the population. |
|||
Uruguay has the highest percentage of self-identified [[White Latin Americans]] of any country in Latin America, however genetic studies have found that over a third of Uruguayans in the samples studied had Amerindian admixture.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.lr21.com.uy/comunidad/462619-en-uruguay-hay-115118-descendientes-de-indigenas | title=En Uruguay hay 115.118 descendientes de indígenas | date=14 July 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.uypress.net/Secciones/En-Uruguay-un-34-de-la-poblacion-tiene-ascendencia-indigena-uc80899 | title=En Uruguay un 34% de la población tiene ascendencia indígena }}</ref> |

== Demographic distribution == |
|||
[[Montevideo metropolitan area|Metropolitan Montevideo]], with about one and a half million inhabitants, is the capital and largest city. The rest of the urban population lives in about 20 towns. Montevideo is about {{convert|200|km|mi|sp=us}} away from [[Buenos Aires]] in neighboring Argentina. |
|||
Uruguay is distinguished by its high literacy rate (97.3%) and a large urban middle class. |
|||
As a result of the low birth rate, high life expectancy, and relatively high rate of emigration of younger people, Uruguay's population is quite mature. In 2006, the country had a birth rate of 13.91 births per thousand population, lower than neighboring countries Argentina (16.73 births/1000 population)[3] and Brazil (16.56 births/1,000 population). |

Church and state are officially [[separation of church and state|separated]]. Most Uruguayans adhere to the [[Roman Catholic]] faith (62%), with smaller [[Protestant]] (4%) and [[Jew]]ish (3%), as well as a large nonprofessing group (31%). |

==Emigration== |
|||
Although the majority of Uruguayans do not actively practice a religion, they are nominally church members in the Catholic, Protestant and other communities. Uruguayan life is what political observers consider Uruguay is the most secular country (sometimes tied with the US) in the [[western hemisphere|western]] and [[southern hemisphere]]s. |
|||
{{main article|Emigration from Uruguay}} |
|||
During the past four decades, an estimated 500,000 Uruguayans had emigrated, principally to Brazil, Argentina and Europe. (Argentina is the main destination for Uruguayans, but they are also drawn to Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Germany.)<ref>{{Cite web|title=Main countries of origin immigrants in Uruguay 2020|url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/1272980/leading-countries-origin-migrants-uruguay/|access-date=2022-01-30|website=Statista|language=en}}</ref> Other Uruguayans went to various countries in Europe, Australia and the USA. |
|||
Neighboring ties and short distances between Uruguayan cities and Argentine capital Buenos Aires, have drawn a path of success for very talented Uruguayans who settled in the neighbor country and became famous and locally accepted. Some famous Uruguayans who excelled in Argentina are entrepreneur and financier [[Juan Navarro Castex|Juan Navarro]], sports journalist [[Victor Hugo Morales]], singer and actress [[Natalia Oreiro]], soccer players [[Antonio Alzamendi]], [[Enzo Francescoli]] and [[Carlos Goyen]], actor [[Daniel Hendler]], actress [[China Zorrilla]], entertainer [[Carlos Perciavalle]] and former playboy and journalist [[Luis César Avilés]]. |
|||
Uruguay is distinguished by its high [[literacy]] rate, large urban middle class, a traditional [[socialist]] welfare state program yet in need of improvements in the 1990's, and relatively even [[income distribution]]. The average Uruguayan and neighbour country [[Argentina]] can be compared with some of the western countries of Europe, and ranks behind that of [[North America]]n giants the US and [[Canada]]. |
|||
Emigration to the United States also rose at the beginning of the century, but remains a small part of the US population. The majority of Uruguayans in the US live in New York City, [[New Jersey]], Washington, D.C., Florida, and urban areas of California. |
|||
During the past two decades, an estimated 500,000 Uruguayans had emigrated, principally to Brazil, Argentina and Europe. ([[Spain]] is the main destination for Uruguayans, but also drawn to [[Italy]], [[France]] and [[Germany]]). There are 500,000 Uruguayans in Brazil, the largest community of this group and many came there to escape political persecution in the 1970's. |
|||
==Religion== |
|||
Emigration to the [[United States]] also rose recently, but remains a small part of the US [[Hispanic]] population. The majority of Uruguayans in the US live in [[New York city]], [[New Jersey]], [[Washington, DC]] and urban areas of [[California]]. |

As a result of the low [[birth rate]], high [[life expectancy]], and relatively high rate of emigration of younger people, Uruguay's population is quite mature with a lower percentage of young people than most of Latin America (except for Chile and Argentina). |

Uruguay has no official religion, church and state are officially separated, and [[religious freedom]] is guaranteed. A 2008 survey by the [[Instituto Nacional de Estadística (Uruguay)|Instituto Nacional de Estadística]] of Uruguay gave Catholicism as the main religion, with 45.7% of the population, 9.0% are non-Catholic Christians, 0.6% are [[Animists]] or [[Umbanda|Umbandists]] (an [[Afro-Brazilian]] religion) and 0.4% Jewish. 30.1% reported believing in a god, but not belonging to any religion, while 14% were [[Atheist]] or Agnostic.<ref name="ine-rel">{{cite web|url=http://www.ine.gub.uy/anda/ddibrowser/?id=11§ion=variable&varid=V157 |title=Encuesta Continua de Hogares 2008 – Religion |publisher=Instituto Nacional de Estadística |access-date=2010-12-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101114015256/http://www.ine.gub.uy/anda/ddibrowser/?id=11§ion=variable&varid=V157 |archive-date=14 November 2010 |df=dmy }}</ref> Among the sizeable [[Armenians in Uruguay|Armenian]] community in Montevideo the dominant religion is Christianity, specifically [[Armenian Apostolic]].<ref>{{cite web|author=1/0 Technology Corp. – Paul R.

Origins and ethnicity
[edit]Most Uruguayans are descended from colonial-era settlers and immigrants from Europe with almost 88% of the population being of either sole or partial European descent,[16] with a majority of these being Spaniards, followed closely by Italians, and smaller numbers of French, Germans, Portuguese, British (English or Scots), Irish, Swiss, Russians, Poles, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, Swedes, Danes, Dutch, Belgians, Austrians, Croats, Serbs, Greeks and others.
There are also smaller numbers of Western Asian (Turks, Israelis, and Lebanese) and South Caucasus ethnic groups (Armenians, Georgians, and Azeris).
Many Swiss settlements (colonias or "colonies"), such as Colonia Suiza, Colonia Valdense and Nueva Helvecia, were founded in the department of Colonia. Also, there are towns founded by early British settlers, such as Conchillas and Barker. A Russian colony called San Javier was founded in the 1910s in the department of Río Negro. There are also Mennonite colonies in the department of Río Negro and in the department of Canelones.
Many of the European immigrants arrived in the late 19th century and have heavily influenced the architecture and culture of Montevideo and other major cities. For this reason, Montevideo and life within the city are very reminiscent of Western Europe.
The rest of the Uruguayan population is Black/Afro-Uruguayan of African descent and about 1 or 2% are of Asian descent, mostly are Lebanese/Syrian Arab, and Chinese or Japanese ancestry.
Amerindians descendants make up a small population in the Rural North region, with Mestizos making up 6% of the population.
Uruguay has the highest percentage of self-identified White Latin Americans of any country in Latin America, however genetic studies have found that over a third of Uruguayans in the samples studied had Amerindian admixture.[17][18]
Demographic distribution
[edit]Metropolitan Montevideo, with about one and a half million inhabitants, is the capital and largest city. The rest of the urban population lives in about 20 towns. Montevideo is about 200 kilometers (120 mi) away from Buenos Aires in neighboring Argentina.
Uruguay is distinguished by its high literacy rate (97.3%) and a large urban middle class.
As a result of the low birth rate, high life expectancy, and relatively high rate of emigration of younger people, Uruguay's population is quite mature. In 2006, the country had a birth rate of 13.91 births per thousand population, lower than neighboring countries Argentina (16.73 births/1000 population)[3] and Brazil (16.56 births/1,000 population).

Emigration
[edit]During the past four decades, an estimated 500,000 Uruguayans had emigrated, principally to Brazil, Argentina and Europe. (Argentina is the main destination for Uruguayans, but they are also drawn to Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Germany.)[20] Other Uruguayans went to various countries in Europe, Australia and the USA.
Neighboring ties and short distances between Uruguayan cities and Argentine capital Buenos Aires, have drawn a path of success for very talented Uruguayans who settled in the neighbor country and became famous and locally accepted. Some famous Uruguayans who excelled in Argentina are entrepreneur and financier Juan Navarro, sports journalist Victor Hugo Morales, singer and actress Natalia Oreiro, soccer players Antonio Alzamendi, Enzo Francescoli and Carlos Goyen, actor Daniel Hendler, actress China Zorrilla, entertainer Carlos Perciavalle and former playboy and journalist Luis César Avilés.
Emigration to the United States also rose at the beginning of the century, but remains a small part of the US population. The majority of Uruguayans in the US live in New York City, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Florida, and urban areas of California.
Religion
[edit]Uruguay has no official religion, church and state are officially separated, and religious freedom is guaranteed. A 2008 survey by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística of Uruguay gave Catholicism as the main religion, with 45.7% of the population, 9.0% are non-Catholic Christians, 0.6% are Animists or Umbandists (an Afro-Brazilian religion) and 0.4% Jewish. 30.1% reported believing in a god, but not belonging to any religion, while 14% were Atheist or Agnostic.[22] Among the sizeable Armenian community in Montevideo the dominant religion is Christianity, specifically Armenian Apostolic.[23]
Political observers consider Uruguay the most secular country in the Americas.[24] Uruguay's secularization began with the relatively minor role of the church in the colonial era, compared with other parts of the Spanish Empire. The small numbers of Uruguay's Indians and their fierce resistance to proselytism reduced the influence of the ecclesiastical authorities.[25]
After independence, anticlerical ideas spread to Uruguay, particularly from France, further eroding the influence of the church.[26] In 1837, civil marriage was recognized and in 1861 the state took over the running of public cemeteries. In 1907, divorce was legalized and in 1909, all religious instruction was banned from state schools.[25] Under the influence of the Colorado reformer José Batlle y Ordóñez (1903–1911) complete separation of church and state was introduced with the new constitution of 1917.[25]
