Abstract

Census data from 2002 show that 4.6 percent of the Chilean population belonged to one of the eight existing indigenous groups. Compared to nonindigenous people, indigenous people in Chile are in general poorer, have lower educational attainment, are more likely to be unemployed, and are more likely to be illiterate. Most of them do not speak or understand their indigenous language.
