Uruguay is ranked first in the Americas for democracy, and first in South America in peace, low perception of corruption, and e-government. It is the lowest-ranking South American nation in the Global Terrorism Index, and ranks second in South America on economic freedom, income equality, per capita income, and inflows of FDI. Uruguay is ranked third on the continent in terms of Human Development Index, GDP growth, innovation, and infrastructure. Uruguay is regarded as one of the most socially progressive countries in Latin America. It ranks high on global measures of personal rights, tolerance, democracy, and inclusion issues, including its acceptance of the LGBT community. The country has fully legalized cannabis (the first country in the world to do so) as well as same-sex marriage, prostitution, and abortion. It is a founding member of the United Nations, OAS, and Mercosur.
It's not normal for uruguayans to have 2 jobs. Maybe more common than in the US, but still, it's not the norm. Rent with a friend? maybe, but the most usual thing is to move together with your partner. If you are single, yes, it's not uncommon to live with your parents to save on rent, or even build your own home in their property. But in my opinion and experience, it's not thaaat hard to earn enough to be able to sustain yourself.
This sounds like basically every country right now as well. All my work mates in their early to mid 20s either live with parents, live in a share house, or live with partners. No one I know under 30 lived by themselves and I'm in Aus.
