“The Equal Measures 2030 report published in 2024 states that Chile must improve at a rate of 3.19 points per year from its 2022 score to close gender-equality gaps by the global targets set for 2030 (Agenda 2030).”

The 2030 Agenda sets out global goals and targets but does not include Equal Measures 2030 index calculations or per‑country annual index‑point requirements. It states broadly that countries "resolve, between now and 2030, to end poverty and hunger everywhere" and to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls," yet nowhere in the text are numeric obligations such as a need for Chile to improve its gender‑equality index score by a specific number of points per year (e.g., 3.19) defined.

The report explains its scoring and pace-of-change metrics but does not present country‑specific required annual improvement rates. It defines categories such as: "FAST PROGRESS: Score increased by more than 0.6 points per year" and "SOME PROGRESS: Score increased by 0.2 to 0.6 points per year" (p. 12). The document provides 2022 Index scores and changes since 2015/2019 but, in the tables and figures that list countries, there is no line stating that Chile must improve at a rate of 3.19 points per year from its 2022 score to reach gender equality by 2030.

The country spotlight for Chile notes its overall SDG Gender Index position and relative performance to Brazil, but does not provide any required annual rate of change figure. It states: "On the overall Index score in 2022, Chile was ranked 42nd in the world compared to 64th place for Brazil." It then describes Chile’s highest and lowest ranks across individual SDGs, without mentioning any specific number of points per year Chile would need to improve to meet 2030 targets.

The overview of the 2024 SDG Gender Index states: "The 2024 SDG Gender Index is a multidimensional index, benchmarking gender equality across 139 countries…" and notes that "NO COUNTRY IS ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY BY 2030 – If current trends continue, global gender equality won’t be achieved until the 22nd century." The page discusses global and regional patterns and examples but does not mention a specific required annual improvement rate of 3.19 points for Chile from its 2022 score.

Equal Measures 2030 provides an online data explorer for the 2024 SDG Gender Index. It notes: "Country performance on the SDG Gender Index can be visualized using four different tools. These tools provide country rankings, overall Index Scores, individual scores for the 14 SDGs available, and scores for the 56 indicators that make up the Index." Within the downloadable data for each country, the dataset includes both the 2022 Index score and a variable that indicates the needed average annual change in score from 2022 to 2030 to close gender equality gaps.

The interactive data tool describes how to explore country indicators: "The default reference year is 2022, but one can also select other years, either 2015 or 2019." Users can "hover the cursor over the map and select a country of interest" and view scores over time. In the worked example for Mexico, the text notes that Mexico’s women‑in‑parliament indicator improved from 42.4% in 2015 to 48.2% in 2019 and 50.0% in 2022, and that "Mexico’s corresponding Index score for this indicator was 100 in 2022." The description, however, does not set out any formula or requirement that a particular country (such as Chile) must improve by 3.19 points per year from 2022 to meet 2030 targets.

The JRC audit evaluates the methodology of the SDG Gender Index, including data quality and aggregation. It notes that "Missing data accounted for 9% of the total 7784 values (56 indicators x 139 countries) for the data referring to the year 2022 and used for the SDG‑GI 2024." The document analyses index construction and robustness but does not discuss country‑specific required annual changes (e.g., that Chile must improve by 3.19 points per year) or any calculations of needed pace of improvement by 2030.

The 2022 SDG Gender Index report focuses on global and regional progress between 2015 and 2020. It states: "The global Index score for gender equality stands at just 67.8 in 2020: only a slight improvement of less than two points since 2015" and projects that "If current trends continue, the global score will reach only 71 out of 100 by 2030." While it discusses slow global progress and future projections, it does not contain a statement that Chile must raise its score by 3.19 points per year from 2022 to close gender‑equality gaps by 2030.

Equal Measures 2030 summarises the report: "The 2024 SDG Gender Index by Equal Measures 2030 evaluates gender equality across 144 countries, using indicators from 14 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlights slow and uneven progress, with no country on track to achieve gender equality by 2030." The press release discusses global and regional trends and examples of country performance but does not list the exact annual rate of change required for Chile or any specific figure such as 3.19 points per year.

Chile’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) provides official monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal gender indicators. The page explains (translated): “This section presents indicators of gender for monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Chile.” It supplies national data series linked to the 2030 Agenda but does not replicate or endorse specific projections from the Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index, nor does it mention a required annual improvement of 3.19 points in any EM2030 index for Chile.

The UN’s official SDG metadata repository describes how each Sustainable Development Goal indicator is defined, measured and monitored by countries. While it frames the global 2030 Agenda and gender‑related SDG indicators, it does not incorporate or validate external composite indexes such as Equal Measures 2030’s SDG Gender Index. There is no reference in the UN metadata to any requirement that “Chile must improve by 3.19 index points per year from 2022 to close gender‑equality gaps by 2030,” indicating that such a figure, if used, would be specific to EM2030’s own modelling rather than an official UN target.

The regional SDG 5 page notes long timeframes to close gender gaps globally: "At the current rate, it will take an estimated 300 years to end child marriage, 286 years to close gaps in legal protection and remove discriminatory laws, 140 years for women to be represented equally in positions of power and leadership in the workplace, and 47 years to achieve equal representation in national parliaments." These projections give context to gender‑equality timelines but do not reference the Equal Measures 2030 Index or any calculation that Chile specifically must improve by 3.19 points per year from its 2022 score.

Equal Measures 2030 describes itself as: "Equal Measures 2030 believes that data-driven advocacy can expose gender inequality and injustice, motivate change and drive accountability." The site presents the SDG Gender Index and related analyses but, in its general mission and overview text, does not set out country‑specific required annual score improvements such as a claim that Chile must improve by 3.19 points per year from 2022 to meet SDG gender‑equality targets by 2030.

Switzerland’s “Gender Equality Strategy 2030” site explains the country’s national plan to promote equality between women and men. It is described as “the Confederation's first national strategy aimed specifically at promoting equality between women and men.” This national strategy references the 2030 Agenda but does not rely on or reproduce Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index projections, and it does not assert any per‑year index point requirement like 3.19 points for Chile.

Summarizing findings from Equal Measures 2030’s 2024 SDG Gender Index, the article states: “No country is on track to achieve gender equity by 2030, and many have seen a decline in women's well-being over the past five years.” The piece explains that the Index evaluates “139 countries across 56 indicators” and highlights global and regional trends. It does not reference specific numerical projections for individual countries, such as an annual improvement requirement of 3.19 index points for Chile.

Tableau’s profile of Equal Measures 2030 notes: “Equal Measures 2030 holds every country accountable to achieving gender equity—one of the Sustainable Development Goals—by the year 2030. EM2030 is translating the data it collects on current gender inequities into action by publicizing it and sharing it with other organizations working toward equity.” It also mentions that “Equal Measures 2030’s 2022 Sustainable Development Goals Gender Index dashboard allows users to compare countries’ scores and rankings related to gender equality.” The article describes the existence of country scores and rankings but does not describe any formula or specific requirement such as Chile needing to improve by 3.19 points per year from its 2022 score.

Equileap explains that it "provides regular regional or thematic special reports highlighting the status of gender equality within companies in specific regions, sectors or indices." These reports focus on corporate gender‑equality performance, not on the Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index. They do not discuss national index scores for Chile nor any requirement that Chile increase its EM2030 score by 3.19 points per year from 2022 to meet Agenda 2030 targets.

Publicly available Equal Measures 2030 materials for 2024 include an overall report, methodological notes, and an interactive database with 2022 scores and historical changes. These resources typically report each country’s current index score and the change per year (e.g., whether it shows "fast progress" or "some progress"), but they do not usually publish country‑specific prescriptions of the exact number of points a country must gain per year to achieve gender equality by 2030. A figure like "3.19 points per year" for Chile appears more likely to be an external calculation using EM2030 score data rather than a phrase used in EM2030’s own 2024 report text.

A search of academic and policy literature for the exact phrase "Chile 3.19 points per year" in connection with the Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index or the 2024 EM2030 report does not return any peer‑reviewed articles or official EM2030 documents that contain this figure. The absence of the 3.19 value in indexed scholarly or policy publications suggests that, if it exists, it is not widely cited in authoritative literature as an EM2030‑stated requirement for Chile.
