The country has made significant and fruitful efforts to move towards a leadership position in research among industrializing countries.

Although, there are no observed specific inequities within Chile's advanced research system, the country's education system has room for improvement.

Similarly, Chile has one scientist for each thousand economically active inhabitants, while the developed world has an average of five scientists per thousand. 2012-08-13T11:21:11Z 2012-08-13T11:21:11Z 2002-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/12/2513839/chiles-millennium-science-initiative-building-human-capital-global-knowledge-economy http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10398 English en breve; No. 15 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Chile
