MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified
Pending live-verification. The source URLs have not yet been fetched and archived in this round; the city will return to a HIGH classification once that is done. Original rationale: Fairwork Chile 2024 Ratings ("Labour Standards in the Platform Economy") in published reports list at fair.work/en/fw/fairwork-reports/. Plus Fairwork Chile 2021 (older). Multi-source CL corroboration: cursando.cl + recursoseducativos.cl + emmamobility.cl. CLP 5,000/hr × $0.00104 = $5.20.
