Human Capital and the National
Innovation Strategy for
Competitiveness
The case of Chile
Hernán Araneda
Head, Centre for Innovation in Human Capital
Fundación Chile
Prepared for the OECD/Germany Workshop
Advancing innovation: human resources, education and training
Bonn, 17-18 November 2008
About Fundación Chile
Who we are:
Fundación Chile is a non-profit, privately owned
corporation, created in 1976 by an agreement between
the Chilean Government and ITT Corporation (U.S.A.).In
2005 BHP Billiton became a co founder.
Our Mission:
To increase the competitivity of human resources and
productive sectors and services, by promoting and
developing high impact innovations, technology transfer
and management for the country.
“There are three proven models worldwide that are
examples for emerging economies: The
industrialization model of China, The outsourcing
model of India and the model of Fundación Chile”
(OECD)
“…by 1982, Fundación Chile had its first salmon farm
up and running. Seven years later it sold it to a
Japanese company for $22 million” (Businessweek)
“In 2004, its first year, the laboratory turned out 1.7m
partially fattened lilly bulbs, using up-to-date
biotechnology. Vitro Centre is a joint venture between
local investors, Fundación Chile and a Dutch firm… (The
Economist)
Strong Brand Name Recognition

But…

Percapita income still lacks behind the OECD (40% of
OECD average income level)

Unequal income distribution (0.55 Gini; 0.75 excluding
the highest income decile)

Economy too dependent on commodities: more R&D
investment required

Relatively low labour productivity

Low quality of learning outcomes across the education
system (Simce, TIMMS, PISA, IALS)

Uneven distribution of opportunities in higher education
and training

Low participation of women in the labour force
The country’s most important goal: doubling
percapita income in the next 15 years to
become a developed country

… and this is a major
challenge. Only once in our
history have we managed to
double our per capita GDP in
16 years: 1988-2004.
Business as usual is not sufficient; We must
decisively move towards a Knowledge Based
Economy
Growth depends less on capital and labour
accumulation than on efficient use of these factors
(Total Factor Productivity).
We need to move from static comparative advantages
linked to natural resources to a stage where the
incorporation of more knowledge into products and
services is crucial.
In brief - the capacity to transform knowledge into
wealth, the capacity to INNOVATE.
Are we prepared?

Over the last decade TFP contribution has fallen
dramatically…and forecasts are frightening.
TFP would account for less than 25% of Chile’s growth in
the 2007-2011 which compares poorly with the figure
for competing economies (40% to 50% according to The
Economist Intelligence Unit)

Three decisions to move forward Innovation
1. Increasing public funding to support the strategy
(new mining tax).
2. R & D tax incentive for companies.
3. Creation of a National Innovation Council for
Competitiveness – National Innovation Strategy


To propose a roadmap for a development process based on
competitiveness supported by human capital and knowledge.
To look after policy coherence

Defining strategic objectives

Defining the roles of agents

Resource allocation aligned with the strategic priorities

Consolidate a business system aimed at the
creation of value by means of innovation – in all its
forms and aspects – as a competitiveness strategy
in global markets.
Strengthen a platform for the creation,
dissemination and application of knowledge
in a permanent and consistent research
effort coherent with the country’s
productive and social problems.
To establish an accessible and top-quality
life-long-learning system which allows the
country to rely on the relevant human

LLL drivers and issues (1)

High coverage in initial education but low quality of
learning outcomes (TIMMS, PISA, etc.)

A significant % of adult population without initial
education lacking basic skills

Students lacking academic and employability skills for a
friendly school-to-work transition

Increasing demand for post-secondary learning
opportunities: education seen as the vehicle for social
mobility (high private returns, etc.)

Expansion of the market of post-secondary ed. and
training providers (esp. private universities) but no public
information about graduates labor market outcomes

Concern about quality and relevance of programs,
accreditation frameworks still to be piloted
LLL drivers and issues (2)

Disjointed “systems” providing LLL and training
opportunities,

Public effort on training limited to a tax incentive for
companies; no funding arrangements for individual
workers.

Vocational education not well funded by government: poor
quality and relevance for industry

A significant amount of (competent) workers without
formal recognition for their skills

Lack of a shared vision and agenda among ministeries
relevant for LLL: education, labour, economic
development.
LLL drivers and issues (3)

Adult education, technical-vocational education,
workforce training and career guidance systems
seen as missing pieces in the 90’s reforms

Learning outcomes and not only “inputs” and
“processes” as the best approach once universal
coverage is achieved

Lack of a coherent public policy on vocational
education (both secondary and postsecondary)
Strategy

Main purpose: design and piloting new arrangements,
capacities and funding mechanisms supporting LLL

Multisectorial: Min of Education; Min Labour & Social
Affairs; Min of Economic Development; Industry
Associations; companies

Combination of remedial actions; learning innovations;
institutional innovations; ”demostrative projects”

Diverse clientele:
adults with low educational attainment (unemployed
/ bad jobs);
young people attending VE;

Where do we stand against the LLL
agenda?

Several pilots and demostrative projects articulating
supply and demand at a regional level. Impact
evaluation going on (WB).

Some of the regulations needed in place or in final
stage of approval (ie National Competency System)

Competency “movement” underpinning curriculum
development in most higher institutions across the
country. “Modules” and “Competency Based VET
Programs” being developed.

National Agenda for Innovation and Competitiveness, a
new driving force for LLL in the country, as far as it
supports human capital in strategic economic clusters
Current issues

Competing policy agendas still a problem: M.Education
too busy with the unfinished school reform and
M.Labour with the pension reform and persistent youth
unemployment

A new policy for secondary and postsecondary TVET

Qualifications framework informing pedagogical
innovation and new learning materials

Quality framework for QA and accreditation

Diversifing funding mechanisms for learners beyond
initial education

Innovation in education & training.
