National and international organizations have called for spaces for all ages, with more age-inclusive policies and support services. Here, the concept of intergenerational (IG) solidarity is seen as a crucial element in the development and wellbeing of all generations (Stuckelberger & Vikat, 2007; WHO, 2007). Chile is not exempt from this call for paying increased attention to the needs of the young and the old. During the last few decades, public policies and programs have been developed to protect and provide opportunities for both older adults and children to increase their social participation and interaction, and to empower them in the exercise of their rights. -
Chapter 11 RAIL TRANSPORT in CHILE
Chapter 11 RAIL TRANSPORT IN CHILE Raimundo Soto 1 Extensive reform was completed in the rail sector in Chile and different models were used, including full privatisation and concessions. Both types of reforms achieved significant efficiency and welfare gains and reforms have improved the industry operations, particularly in freight. Motivation for the reforms was to reduce subsidies: that issue remains, particularly in the passenger sector. 11.1 INTRODUCTION Railways played a significant role in social life in Chile for almost a century. Between 1860 and 1950 railroads were an exemplar of modernisation, integration and economic development. By 1950, however, the industry had started to decline, unable to compete with more efficient means of transportation (buses and trucks). By the mid 1970s railroads were bankrupt, surviving through government subsidies. Two decades later, passenger services had almost disappeared (accounting for less than 1% of total traffic). Freight operations, on the contrary, had been privatised and revitalised, and concentrated on small profitable market niches usually in remote areas of the economy (Thompson & Angerstein 1997). This paper reviews the Chilean case and analyzes the current standing and operations of the industry, focusing on the reforms, public sector involvement, regulation, market entry, vertical integration, externalities and political factors. The Chilean economy underwent a massive restructuring in the mid 1970s. This included opening to foreign trade, complete market deregulation, inflation control, macroeconomic stabilisation and, most importantly for our study, a complete reallocation of government subsidies. In this economic turnaround, despite the waste and inefficiency associated with the publicly-owned railroad monopoly, no specific reforms were devised for railroads. -

The Operator's Story Appendix: Santiago's Story
Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: Santiago’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London 1 The Operator’s Story: Notes from Santiago Case Study Interviews – February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in Santiago. These notes are based upon 11 meetings between 16th and 20th May 2016. This document will form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London or the World Bank. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and Metro de Santiago. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by Metro de Santiago (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by Metro de Santiago themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

Bío Bío Region, Chile Higher Education in Regional and City the Bío Bío Region Has Pioneered Regional Development in Chile
HigherEducation Regionalin and City Development Higher Education in Regional and City Development Bío Bío Region, Chile Higher Education in Regional and City The Bío Bío Region has pioneered regional development in Chile. It has a high concentration of higher education and research activity. Its universities and other Development higher education institutions have made significant progress in widening access to education. But challenges remain: the Bío Bío Region continues to suffer from brain Bío Bío Region, Chile drain as well as higher than average unemployment and poverty rates. How can the Bío Bío Region promote new business formation and the development of the existing small and medium-sized companies? What incentives are needed to improve higher education institutions’ regional and local orientation? How can higher education institutions move from knowledge generation towards knowledge transfer? This joint OECD and World Bank review explores a range of helpful policy measures and institutional reforms to mobilise higher education for the development of the Bío Bío Region. It is part of the series of the OECD reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development. These reviews help mobilise higher education institutions for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. They analyse how the higher education system impacts upon regional and local development and bring together universities, other higher education institutions and public and private agencies to identify strategic goals and to work towards them.
