As Chile's incoming Cabinet stood for photos after being unveiled on Friday one could read in the captured image the changing face of the Andean country.

The line-up was dominated by women - 14 out of 24 ministers - with seven of the Cabinet under the age of 40 and the youngest 32. The average age was 49. President-electhimself, a former student protest leader, will be just 36 when he takes office in March.

And the make-up of the Cabinet reflects a longer term shift in the role of Chilean women that harks back to former President Michelle Bachelet, who introduced a gender-balanced team in 2006. Some analysts and conservative voters on Twitter said Boric's young team may struggle, though, given a lack of experience and a divided country, where the election saw an ultra-right rival candidate gain 44% in the second-round vote.
