Abstract

This study provides a descriptive overview of the composition of Chilean university faculty in terms of fulltime or part-time status, gender, number of institutions in which they work and level of training and regional distribution. It also explores the academic salaries of Chilean full time faculty in different hierarchies of the academic career compared with academic salaries in a sample of countries. The study shows that Chilean full time academics can double their salaries during their career path. Salaries of full time public university academics are high in the Latin American and other middle-income countries context, but compared with high-income countries, salaries of academics in Chile represent an intermediate level.
