There is a very high income inequality in Chile.

The difference in wages between high and low-skilled workers is driving rising income inequality.

In 2014, 28% of Chileans reported not having enough money to buy food with their current incomes.

The electricity demand in Chile is rising.

Solar developers have flocked to the northern part of Chile to take advantage of some of the best natural

conditions in the world for generating solar energy.

In August, 2014, Chile launched its biggest wind energyfarm on a coastal hilltop 400 kilometres north of Santiago. 50 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 115 megawatts provide energy to Los Pelambres, a nearby mine.

There is a very strong education potential in Chile. Over 40% of Chilean workers between the age of 15 and 65 cannot read a text and understand its meaning.

According to the OECD, countries with such critical skills shortages can no longer compete in an increasingly knowledge-based global society.
