Chile's AFP system, established by Decreto Ley 3500 of November 1980 and effective from May 1981 under the Pinochet government, replaced the pay-as-you-go pension regime with mandatory individual capitalisation accounts managed by competing private fund administrators (AFPs). Workers contribute 10% of wages, with optional voluntary saving; the state guaranteed minimum pensions and bridged transition costs through Bonos de Reconocimiento. The intended effect was to deepen capital markets, individualise old-age saving, and reduce contingent fiscal liabilities.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
