CIA World Facts

The following demographic statistics published by Wikipedia are from the CIA World Factbook, unless otherwise indicated. These stats contradict my Spanish teacher's impression of an imbalance in the current birth ratios between boys and girls, though I do not dispute her report that when her daughter was born, there were nine other girls and only one boy born during the same week at the Pucón hospital.

*N.B.In the case of Chile, the percentages were taken from the study of Lizcano (2005)^[2], but these vary according to other studies, 30% of Chileans as white and 65% as either castizo ("white mestizo").^[16] in Another study Esteva-Fabregat (1988), a white majority that would exceed 60% of the Chilean population. In the 2002 census reported 4.6% of Indians in the country (most also varying degrees of miscegenation).
