National, female and male unemployment rates in Chile; percent, March–May 2026.
Chile’s national unemployment rate was 9.4% in the March–May 2026 moving quarter. INE reported 10.5% unemployment for women, 8.6% for men and a 62.4% labour-force participation rate. The national rate was 0.5 percentage point higher than a year earlier, while the gender unemployment gap was 1.9 points. The measure is a three-month moving-quarter survey estimate and should not be compared with an annual average without relabelling the period.
