Bío Bío Region, Chile Higher Education in Regional and City the Bío Bío Region Has Pioneered Regional Development in Chile Higher Education in Regional and City Development and Regional in Education Higher 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.

The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission takes part in the work of the OECD. OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members. The World Bank is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries. The World Bank is not a bank in the common sense, but a group of 5 development institutions, owned by 185 member countries, playing a different but collaborative role to help developing countries reduce poverty, increase economic growth and improve their quality of life. In particular, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) focuses on middle income and creditworthy poor countries, while the International Development Association (IDA) focuses on the poorest countries in the world. Together they provide low interest loans, interest-free credits and grants in support of education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture, and environmental and natural resource management. Since its establishment IDA has provided credits and grants totaling USD 161 billion. In fiscal year 2008, IBRD provided loans equivalent to USD 13.4 billion and IDA credits equivalent to USD 11.2 billion.

FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Universities and other higher education institutions can play a key role in human capital development and innovation systems in their cities and regions. Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development are the OECD’s vehicle to mobilise higher education for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. The reviews analyse how the higher education system impacts local and regional development and help how this impact can be improved. In addition to human capital and skills development, technology transfer and business innovation, the reviews also considers higher education’s contribution to social, cultural and environmental development and regional capacity building. The review process facilitates partnership building in regions by drawing together higher education institutions and public and private agencies to identify strategic goals and work together towards them. To know more about the OECD review process and requirements, visit Higher Education and Regions’ website at www.oecd.org/edu/imhe/regionaldevelopment. These reviews are part of a wider multi-annum work of higher education in cities and regions coordinated by the OECD Programme on Institutional Management of Higher Education (IMHE). In 2004-07, the OECD/IMHE conducted an extensive study with fourteen regional reviews across 12 countries. This resulted in the OECD flagship publication Higher Education and Regions: Globally Competitive, Locally Engaged (OECD, 2007) with recommendations to benefit both higher education institutions and national and regional governments. In 2008, the OECD/IMHE launched a second series of OECD Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development to address the demand by national and regional governments for more responsive and proactive higher education institutions. As a result, 14 regions in 11 countries have undergone the OECD review process in 2008-10. The reviews are conducted in collaboration with international organisations and associations and other OECD programmes and directorates. This work also supports the OECD Innovation Strategy and OECD Green Growth Strategy. HIGHER EDUCATION IN REGIONAL AND CITY DEVELOPMENT: THE BÍO BÍO REGION, CHILE – © OECD 2010 4 – FOREWORD This OECD/World Bank review of the Bío Bío Region in Chile has pioneering in three ways: it has been the first of its kind to be conducted in Chile; the first to be conducted in collaboration with the World Bank; and was the inaugural region reviewed of the second round of OECD Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development. This OECD/World Bank review calls for closer collaboration between higher education institutions and regional and local government to help secure sustainable development. As the people of the Bío Bío Region rebuild their society and their economy after the devastating earthquake of February 2010, it is more than ever essential that these institutions and organisms work together to bring recovery and progress. HIGHER EDUCATION IN REGIONAL AND CITY DEVELOPMENT: THE BÍO BÍO REGION, CHILE –© OECD 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS – 5 Acknowledgements Numerous national and regional stakeholders and representatives of higher education institutions provided valuable insights during the review visit and in the form of comments. This OECD report is based on data published up to and including 2009. The OECD and the World Bank would like to thank in particular the lead coordinators and other active local counterparts for this review: Martin Zilic, Andrés Viveros, Sergio Lavanchy, Héctor Gaete, Juan Cancino, Javier Vera, Aldo Ballerini, Claudio

Felipe Retamal N. 21 MAY 2019 10:30 AM Con varios días de desfase, y con información entregada de forma parcelada, la ciudadanía fue conociendo los pormenores de los combates entablados por la Esmeralda y la Covadonga.

  • Regiones Extremas Chilenas Y Su Invisibilidad Económica*
    Volumen XIV / N° 2 / julio-diciembre 2014 / pp. 187-216 Regiones extremas chilenas y su invisibilidad económica* Economic invisibility of Chile’s end regions Sergio Soza-Amigo** Universidad de Magallanes, Punta Arenas, Chile Loreto Correa*** Academia Nacional de Estudios Políticos y Estratégicos, Santiago, Chile Recibido: 23 de diciembre de 2013. Aprobado: 18 de agosto de 2014. Resumen En este artículo se constata que las zonas extremas de Chile no poseen una estructura que viabilice un modelo de desarrollo homogéneo respecto a las demás regiones, y que dichas diferencias se manifiestan en sus composiciones demográficas y económicas. La hipótesis central de este trabajo es que las regiones extremas del norte y sur-austral son prácticamente invisibles en el contexto económico nacional. Además, se advierte a través de un análisis input-output, que en el desarrollo endógeno de ambas regiones extremas, Arica y Parinacota no es capaz de generar recursos para satisfacer sus propias necesida- des de desarrollo, y que Magallanes y Antártica Chilena al menos ha construido su base económica de manera más formal y diversificada. Palabras clave: regiones extremas, Chile, siglo XXI. * Se reconocen y agradecen los financiamientos entregados por Fondecyt, por medio del proyecto N° 1120405: “Entre el conflicto y el aislamiento: desarrollo, gobernabilidad y seguridad en las zonas fronterizas del norte y el sur de Chile a comienzos del siglo XXI”, así como la colaboración de la licenciada Cinthia Avellaneda Vera. Informamos que una versión preliminar y complementaria de esta investigación fue publicada en la Revista ESD (“Políticas públicas y gobernabilidad en las zonas extremas de Chile 2010-2012”, 1, 17-42) y en XIV Reunión de Economía Mundial, Universidad de Jaen, España, 2011.

Comparative and International Education Faculty (CIED), College of Education John Holst Associate Professor of Education, College of Education Mark Brennan Professor and UNESCO Chair in Community, Leadership, and Youth Development Director of Graduate Studies, Agricultural and Extension Education and Applied Youth, Family, and Community Education iii ABSTRACT The 21st century faces sociodemographic, educational, and economic challenges associated with the global increase in older adult populations and a decrease in the number of children. 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.

In Concepción Metropolitan Area (CMA), the uneven geographical distribution of population, exacerbat- ed by the recent spread of urban growth, has promoted a clear spatial inequity in the provision of quality educational facilities. The objective of this research is to systematically compare the 493 schools of exist- ing educational opportunities in the CMA with the aim to evaluate the spatial equity in order to improve a most inclusive urban planning. Statistical and graphical analysis revealed that nearest units to the center of the metropolitan area (Concepción) had better conditions than the farthest with respect to students- teacher ratio, teaching quality and academic outcomes assessment.

  • Chile Doing As the “Gateway”? Can It Strengthen This Function? How? 2
    11 DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS This chapter will focus on two main subjects: 1. “Gateway”—How is Chile doing as the “gateway”? Can it strengthen this function? How? 2. Logistics for export and import—How are goods transported and distributed in Chile? What are remaining problems? The first subject will place Chile in the international perspectives. The second subject will concentrate on Chile’s domestic systems. 11.1 Chile as the “Gateway”: International Distribution 11.1.1 International Cargo Movements through the “Gateway” Chile’s function as the “gateway” is already a real one though it is still limited in terms of cargo volume. Figure 11.1.1 is reproduced here (originally Figure 10.2.6, Chapter 10) to indicate the extent of that function. As is seen, transit cargos as a whole only account for a fraction of total international movements.1 It is also evident that most of the transit cargos go through the North Zone, to and from Bolivia primarily. The annual total volume of transit cargos (880,000 tons westbound and 510,000 tons eastbound) may be still insignificant compared with Chile’s total handling volumes. Nonetheless, this present picture clearly illustrates a promising possibility that Chile should pursue: its “gateway” function can expand further. To demonstrate this, Chile’s current position in the international distribution and transportation networks particularly with neighboring countries will be reviewed in following sections. 11.1.2 Macro-Region Andina “Macro-region Andina” is a notion proposed and pursued by authorities concerned in Region I. Without any definite boundaries, it roughly covers an area encompassing the southern part of Peru, most of Bolivia, northern part of Argentina, part of Paraguay, and the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul of Brazil.
