Jeanette Jara
Jeanette Jara is a prominent Chilean politician who recently served as the Minister of Labor under President Gabriel Boric. At 50 years old, she has played a significant role in advancing labor reforms, including the reduction of the weekly work hours from 45 to 40 and efforts to enhance the private pension system to increase retirement benefits. Her recent resignation from the cabinet was to pursue a presidential candidacy after being nominated by the Communist Party, making her the second minister in the Boric administration to step down for this purpose.
