Argentina

Argentina's population is overwhelmingly of European descent, mainly Spanish and Italian, the legacy of mass immigration, with smaller Mestizo and Indigenous communities. Spanish is the official language.

Roman Catholicism is the traditional and majority faith, though society is relatively secular, with growing evangelical and non-religious populations.

Society

Argentina has high literacy and a large, urban, educated middle class, but recurring economic crises have eroded living standards and driven some emigration of skilled workers.
