Skills Assessment

It examines the proficiency of the Chilean population in literacy, numeracy and problem solving in a technological-rich environment and disentangles the relationship between proficiency and labour market outcomes in Chile.

Demand for Skills

The study also devotes significant attention to the demand for skills, by describing the use of skills at work in Chile and identifying its key determinants, as well as assessing the extent of skills mismatch and its implications for individuals.

Disparities and Disadvantages

Throughout the study, differences between sociodemographic groups are highlighted to investigate the roots of labour market disadvantage.
