Evidence snapshot for Chile
Chile has implemented several evidence-backed institutional reforms across governance, digital access, and economic development. Chile's gender-parity law produced the world's first gender-balanced constitutional body with 49.7% women representation (77 of 155 members), while ChileCompra's preventive conflict-of-interest system detected 12,395 potential cases and prompted 3,434 agency corrections across $3.9 billion in reviewed procurement in 2025. BiblioRedes has connected 450+ public libraries with free internet and digital training, serving 1.86 million users and conducting 856,514 training actions across most municipalities since 2002. However, Start-Up Chile's effectiveness as a talent-attraction programme was limited: only 24% of foreign entrepreneurs remained based in Chile after the programme, compared to 83% of domestic entrepreneurs.
