Ecuadorians in Uruguay
Ecuadorian Uruguayans are people born in Ecuador who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Ecuadorian descent.
Overview
There are some Ecuadorian-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, with wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean, so some well-off Ecuadorians choose Uruguay as their usual holiday destination, some of them even as permanent residence. There are Ecuadorian students doing postgraduate courses in Uruguay.[1] Other Ecuadorians of a lower social condition come to Uruguay in search of job opportunities, as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.[2]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 310 people who declared Ecuador as their country of birth.[3] As of 2013, there were just 18 Ecuadorian citizens registered in the Uruguayan social security.[4]
There is an Association of Ecuadorian Residents in Uruguay.[5]
