abstract: 'In this work, we propose a quantitative model for the 2019 Chilean

  protests. We utilize public data for the consumer price index, the gross

  domestic product, and the employee and per capita income distributions

  as inputs for a nonlinear diffusion-reaction equation, the solutions to

  which provide an in-depth analysis of the population dynamics.

  Specifically, the per capita income distribution stands out as a

  solution to the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov equation. According to our

  results, the concavity of employee income distribution is a decisive

  input parameter and, in contrast to the distributions typically observed

  for Chile and other countries in Latin America, should ideally be

  non-negative. Based on the results of our model, we advocate for the

  implementation of social policies designed to stimulate social mobility

  by broadening the distribution of higher salaries.'
