Statutory and Private Employee Benefits (including Social Security) in Chile, 2022 Update - Insights into Statutory Employee Benefits such as Retirement Benefits, Long-term and Short-term Sickness Benefits, and Medical Benefits as well as Other State and Private Benefits

Chile was one of the first countries in the Americas to set up state-sponsored social security coverage. The country's pension system consists of multiple pillars - a non-contributory first pillar, a fully-funded second pillar, and a voluntary third pillar. In 1981, a new privatized system was introduced to carry out social security schemes. Private sector insurance companies called pension fund managers to administer these programs and the state is in charge of the regulations. Under this new system, formal employees are mandated to contribute to the personal account, which is managed by a pension fund manager.
