Chile’s Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism and Fundación ChileMujeres, published the sixth edition of its annual Gender Indicators Report on Companies in Chile, covering firms that report to the Financial Market Commission (CMF) under General Rules No. 386 and No. 461. The report tracks gaps in workforce participation, pay and access to senior decision-making roles, and finds women’s representation declines as organisational responsibility increases. Across the sample, women represent 39.6% of total employees, falling to 25.6% in first-line management roles and 22.1% of board seats. The report also identifies “Zero Companies” with no women at certain levels, including 7 firms with no female employees, 177 with no women in first-line management and 182 with no women on boards. Reported pay gaps in 2024 were 9.3% to women’s detriment at administrative and middle levels and 8.6% at executive level; sector and issuer differences were also highlighted, including lower female representation in construction and mining, and lower board representation among IPSA companies (20.3%) than among other firms (22.2%). The 2024 indicators were constructed from 500 CMF-reporting companies employing more than 360,000 women.
