Former Chilean President Eduardo Frei recently claimed that 70% of the country’s informal workforce is comprised of women. However, a fact-check investigation by Fast Check has deemed this statement inaccurate. While it is true that 27% of Chilean workers are employed in the informal sector, women constitute 46% of that group, not the 70% figure cited by the ex-president. The discrepancy was highlighted during a broadcast on the “Mesa Central” program. This misrepresentation raises questions about the accuracy of public statements regarding labor statistics. The fact-check organization categorized Frei’s claim as “Imprecise.” This correction provides a more accurate understanding of gender distribution within Chile’s informal employment landscape.
