Program
Inequality is one of the main challenges for us all. Civil society everywhere is both informed and demanding. Chile's reforms are aimed at reducing inequality and keeping the necessary social cohesion to confront the challenges of a world which is changing at a speed never seen before. Avoiding this reality only deepens our differences and delays decisions that eventually governments will have to take.
