Final answer:

Latvia and Estonia have a high percentage of indigenous ethnic populations. After their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, both nations joined Western European institutions and transitioned to market economies.

Step-by-step explanation:

A large percentage of the population of both Latvia and Estonia is ethnically indigenous of each respective country. Following the breakdown of the Soviet Union in 1991, which is when Latvia and Estonia gained their independence, significant changes occurred in the social fabric of these nations. They sought integration with Western Europe and became members of both the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU) in 2004. Their economies transitioned from planned to market economies and they established democratic governance. This change has had a variety of effects on the population demographics, with a high prevalence of indigenous ethnic groups, despite the presence of other nationalities and ethnicities that were once part of the larger Soviet Union.
