Retirement in Chile

Retirement in Chile is below the average of developed countries, in 2013 the OECD made a study that determined that in Chile pensions correspond to 51.8% of the last salary, while the average of countries is 64.1%, ie we are well below average. This means that if a person in his last 10 years of work earns $500,000 , in Chile he would retire with about $250,000. On the other hand, if we compare with the countries belonging to the group that lead in replacement rates, the Netherlands and Hungary, offer their retirees the equivalent of 101% and 95% of their last salaries, respectively.

Another of the data highlighted by the OECD in the area of pensions was that the retirement age in Chile for women is 70.4 years, when the legal age is 60. The issue is dramatic. People in Chile are delaying their retirement age because they cannot afford to survive. They have no other option, since with 51.8% of the current salary received, survival becomes unsustainable. 

It is unfortunate to know that a person works many years contributing to the country in different areas to have an undignified old age, there are different proposals that could improve this situation but unfortunately the priorities are different. 

My future job

 In the future I would like to work in the area of business as the supermarkets especially in Jumbo because for me they have a high level of sales and quality in their own brand and different products or I would also like to work in some airlines in the area of quality in food delivery, For the first thing I would like to do a course of economics and business after being qualified or perhaps working, this is something I always had in mind but this year as I decided to make an elective called introduction to business management to know a little more about the subject and see if it was as I thought and so I decided to study this more in some master, the course has become very interesting and useful, but also in the future I would like to work as I said in some airline and for this I must know very well the different rules of food on a plane because it is another world and perhaps innovate a little in this area and improve the quality of these foods because we all know that some airlines do not have a very good service, also travel and meet new places and different languages and cultures and that better than at the same time to exercise my career, would be a dream for me.

free topic

 My free choice topic for this blog is my grandparents, they are everything to me, my grandfather's name is Luis and my grandmother's name is Veronica and she has two daughters, both are over 75 years old but they are young or so they say jajaj, They met when they were fifteen years old and since then they have never been separated again. Last year we celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, which was fifty years ago, and for all my family it was a very important celebration because they are an example to follow, I was also lucky enough to meet my great-grandmother (my grandfather's mother) and realize what a beautiful person she was and understand a little more why my grandfather was so grateful for what he had accomplished, he worked many years in a plastic company where he achieved several goals and always dedicated his life to that until two years ago that for an illness had to leave him but it was time to enjoy a little more life and not sacrifice so much and my grandmother for its part was always home and who took care of me since I was a child while my mother worked so you understand why I say that for me they are everything

publication 3

 I decided to study food engineering because I find it too interesting to be part of the whole process of food from its harvest to its consumption. I consider it important to consume quality products and to know how the health rules were fulfilled both in the packaging process and in transport, in its chains of cold or heat and know about this has enormous benefits that start from the same health of the consumer and can become something much more global if someone decided to create their own innovative product as are some organic or that come from waste that was wasted and have many vitamins these can heal diseases as well as improve the lives of all, For me it is a unique world that can always be further developed and improved. I also decided to study this because I also like the economic part, managing the business side of the food industry but also knowing the product and this career encompassed all those points, Designing, organizing and managing industrial food establishments and Developing and participating in physical, chemical and microbiological transformation processes for food production.
