How does the AEI study account for different immigration scenarios, and what is the most likely outcome for net migration in 2025?

The study analyzes various factors, including reduced irregular immigration, accelerated deportations, and voluntary departures. Projected net migration for 2025 ranges from a loss of over half a million people to a gain of 115,000, with the lower figure deemed more likely due to expected increases in deportations and voluntary departures. This will primarily affect employment growth, with projections indicating a reduction in job growth in the latter half of 2025.

How have recent policy changes, such as reductions in work hours and minimum wage increases, affected employment in Chile?

Martínez's observations connect to broader economic trends in Chile. The shift towards growth-focused policies reflects a change from the pandemic-era focus on social safety nets. Her concerns about unemployment, particularly among women, point to systemic challenges in work-life balance and occupational segregation, potentially exacerbated by policies like reduced work hours and minimum wage increases. The falling birth rate poses a significant long-term challenge to public finances and pension systems.
