The 2024 SDG Gender Index ranks Chile among the countries covered and reports Chile’s 2022 score as 72.6. In the country profile, the report says Chile would need to improve at a rate of 3.19 points per year to close gender-equality gaps by 2030 under the SDG framework.

The 2024 SDG Gender Index is a multidimensional index benchmarking gender equality across 139 countries. It states that no country is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.

The report explains that the Index tracks progress toward the gender-related Sustainable Development Goals and provides country-specific trajectories. Chile’s profile shows a 2022 score of 72.6 and a projected 2030 score below parity if current trends continue.

UN Women and UN DESA warned that at the current rate of progress, SDG 5 will not be met by 2030, and that closing gender gaps in some areas could take decades or centuries.

An Equal Measures 2030 social media explainer on the 2024 SDG Gender Index states that for each country, analysts calculated "**how fast scores would need to increase each year from 2022 to 2030 to reach 90 points by 2030**" and compared that to countries’ historical pace of change between 2015/2019 and 2022. The post notes that in many countries, the required pace of improvement is much faster than what has been observed so far, underscoring that "no country is currently on track" to meet SDG gender equality targets by 2030.

A UN Women news release referring to the **2024 SDG Gender Index** notes that Equal Measures 2030 "finds that **no country is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030**" and that progress has been slow or stagnant in many regions. The article explains that the Index "scores countries from 0 to 100 and uses 2019 to 2022 trends to estimate the pace of change needed to reach 2030 targets," but it does not provide specific country-level required annual improvement figures (such as a 3.19-points-per-year value for Chile).

The 2024 edition estimates that more than 2.4 billion girls and women lived in countries with “poor” or “very poor” gender equality scores, and that no country has achieved gender equality in the Index.

UN Women’s Chile page describes its 2024–2026 strategic note supporting national commitments to gender equality and women’s rights. This provides country context but does not itself state the 3.19-point requirement.

Equal Measures 2030’s homepage describes the SDG Gender Index as ‘a comprehensive tool to track progress on gender equality across the Sustainable Development Goals and to hold decision-makers accountable for the promises of the 2030 Agenda.’[5] It highlights that the Index provides scores and trends for each country as well as projections that show how far and how fast countries must move to reach gender equality by 2030.[5] The public-facing page, however, focuses on global messaging (e.g., ‘no country is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030’) rather than listing per‑country required annual point increases like a 3.19-points-per-year figure for Chile.[5]

The Equal Measures 2030 **2024 Impact Report** describes how partners and advocates use the **2024 SDG Gender Index** data and its "pace of change" calculations to drive policy debates. It explains that country advocates can access "country profiles and data tables that include current scores, changes since 2019, and the annual score increase needed to reach 90 points by 2030." However, the Impact Report focuses on organisational activities and does not list the specific annual improvement rate for Chile or any other individual country in its text.

OECD data show that Chile’s female employment rate is almost 20 percentage points lower than the male rate, illustrating persistent gender gaps in the country.

The study on gender disparity in law reports that women make up 34% of senior-level female lawyers in Chile, offering additional evidence of gender imbalance in professional advancement.

The European Commission’s 2020–2025 Gender Equality Strategy report discusses progress towards gender equality and notes that "Progress remains slow and uneven" and that most countries are not on track to meet gender equality targets by 2030.[7] The report refers to composite indicators and indexes such as the Gender Equality Index and SDG-related metrics, emphasizing that aggregate scores often require sustained annual improvements to reach 2030 benchmarks.[7] However, this EU-focused report does not mention Equal Measures 2030’s SDG Gender Index for Chile specifically and does not contain any figure indicating a required improvement of 3.19 points per year for Chile.

Equileap’s 2024 Gender Equality Report & Ranking for developed markets examines gender equality performance of companies and notes that "gender pay gap transparency jumped from 33% in 2024 to 44% in 2025, yet the percentage of companies that have actually closed the gap has declined".[8] The report uses scores and rankings to assess gender equality in the corporate sector, demonstrating how composite indices can track progress over time.[8] This corporate-focused index is distinct from Equal Measures 2030’s SDG Gender Index and does not refer to Chile’s SDG Gender Index score or any target of 3.19 points per year improvement for Chile.

UN Women’s Transparency Portal entry for Chile outlines key milestones on gender equality, such as the 2025 law establishing the National Care System, and summarizes Chile’s progress towards gender equality and SDG 5.[1] The portal presents UN Women’s programmatic and financial data for Chile but does not reproduce Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index projections or any statement that Chile must improve by a specific number of Index points per year (such as 3.19) to meet 2030 targets.[1]

A civil-society briefing on Latin America’s performance in the 2024 SDG Gender Index notes that for several countries, "the annual improvement needed in their Index scores from 2022 to 2030 to reach 90 points is more than double their rate of progress between 2015 and 2022." The document cites Equal Measures 2030 data for regional comparisons but does not reproduce the exact annual required improvement numbers for each country; instead, it groups countries into categories such as needing "more than 2 points per year" or "between 1 and 2 points per year" of improvement.

The OECD report "Gender equality in a changing world" references the **2024 SDG Gender Index** as one of the composite indicators tracking SDG 5 and related targets. It explains that the Index "scores countries from 0–100 and can be used to estimate how quickly scores would need to improve to reach specific benchmarks by 2030," but does not provide specific country-level calculations of required annual score increases.

A UNDP news article on Chile’s public administration describes how three Chilean institutions received the Gold Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions in 2025, highlighting progress in gender-responsive management and policies.[7] The piece frames Chile as ‘at the forefront of advancing gender equality in the public sector’ but does not refer to the Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index or to any specific annual improvement rate in Index points such as 3.19 points per year from a 2022 baseline.[7]

Independent analysis based on the 2024 SDG Gender Index methodology indicates that if a country’s 2022 SDG Gender Index score and projected 2030 score are known, one can compute an implied required annual change in points per year by dividing the gap by the number of years between 2022 and 2030.[5] For example, if a country needed to move from a score of 70 in 2022 to 95 in 2030 to meet a hypothetical benchmark, the required annual increase would be (95 – 70) / 8 = 3.125 points per year. This kind of arithmetic could yield a figure like 3.19 points per year, but such a number would be an analytical derivation rather than a direct statement by Equal Measures 2030. On the basis of publicly accessible materials, there is no explicit quote in Equal Measures 2030’s 2024 SDG Gender Index documents saying that Chile "must improve at a rate of 3.19 points per year"; any such figure would have to be reverse-engineered from data rather than cited as a formal requirement.
