• Member of the Committee of Experts for the Future of Work roundtable, organized by Congreso Futuro and Fundación Encuentros del Futuro, April 2024. The purpose of this committee was to define the main dimensions to be addressed by the sub-tables, which
would involve broader participation. The invitation was extended by Guido Girardi, Director of Congreso Futuro; Juan Antonio Coloma, Chair of the Future Challenges Commission; and Pablo Egaña, Coordinator of the Future of Work roundtable.
• Member of the University Consortium Against Labor Informality, 2020–2021. This consortium was convened by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Labor to develop proposals to reduce labor informality in Chile. The consortium included the

• In November 2024, I participated as an expert in validating the global indicator of the System and its integration across different dimensions. This process is being developed by the Ministry of Social Development and Family of Chile, with validation support
