Gender-Based Violence Country Profile
The economy of Chile, with a total population of approximately 19.493.185 by 2021, is undergoing an adjustment phase after a remarkable expansion in 2021, with real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropping to 2.4 percent in 2022 due to normalized consumption and contractionary policies. This economic adjustment is predicted to continue during the first half of 2023, as consumption is expected to fall further amid weakened household liquidity and labor market. The Chilean economy is based on the exploitation of agricultural, fishing, forest, and mining resources. Chile has made several improvements in gender parity, but violence against women remains a significant problem in the country. As the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem of gender-based violence, women’s labor force participation rate reduced by 10 percentage points as well as several other indicators have been affected negatively.

| Summary: | The economy of Chile, with a total population of
approximately 19.493.185 by 2021, is
undergoing an adjustment phase after a remarkable expansion
in 2021, with real gross domestic product (GDP) growth
dropping to 2.4 percent in 2022 due to normalized
consumption and contractionary policies. This economic
adjustment is predicted to continue during the first half of
2023, as consumption is expected to fall further amid
weakened household liquidity and labor market. The Chilean
economy is based on the exploitation of agricultural,
fishing, forest, and mining resources. Chile has made
several improvements in gender parity, but violence against
women remains a significant problem in the country. As the
COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem of
gender-based violence, women’s labor force participation
rate reduced by 10 percentage points as well as several
other indicators have been affected negatively. |
