According to watchtutorials, Paraguay is home to a population of around 7 million people, making it the second-smallest country in South America. Over 90% of its population is mestizo, meaning they are of mixed Spanish and indigenous Guarani descent. This number is steadily increasing as Paraguay’s population continues to grow. The remaining population consists of Europeans, Asians, and Afro-Paraguayans. Paraguay also has a large number of immigrants from countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia. The majority of Paraguay’s population lives in the eastern region near Asuncion, the capital city. Other urban centers include Ciudad del Este and Encarnacion on the border with Argentina, as well as Concepcion in the northern part of the country. Rural areas are found throughout Paraguay and are home to many indigenous communities. These communities have their own unique culture and language which differ from other parts of the country. Education is mandatory for children aged 6-14 years old throughout Paraguay; however, access to quality education remains limited outside larger cities due to poverty and lack of infrastructure in rural areas.
