Poverty and Inequality in the Country of Cuba

The conclusion is that there is a way to improve Cuba, but there is no trade that the economy will fall into a crisis unless external assistance similar to aid is offered to Cuba during the Cold War (because of unfair embargo against Cuba). Although housing problems can be solved by replacing infrastructure in Cuba. However, as long as that money does not go to many people, Cuba does not improve economically. Unless capitalism is adopted, Cuba is next to foolish movements of Communism and the greatest capitalist superpower, so unless capitalism is adopted, I personally feel that this country remains poverty think.

Without the Cuban revolution, Cuba may be suffering from the destiny of many other Banana Republics hit by poverty and inequality. Under Castro's rule, Cuba developed an advanced medical and educational system, but the Cubans suffered because of the US embargoing measures. Thanks to his actions, Fidel Castro was best explained as a merciful dictator. Even though the election promised during the Cuban revolution was never allowed, Cuba emphasized workplace democracy, and almost all private sector employment comes from worker cooperatives. Cuba provides excellent medical services, with the unemployment rate of 4% in 2014 and the literacy rate exceeding 99%.

What is the poverty rate of Cuba? This is not an easy question to answer, as there is no data publicized by the national socialist economy or the government. It is estimated that 5 to 26 percent of the population of Cuba lives in poverty. It is clear that poverty has declined in Cuba since the catastrophic special period of the 1990s. At first glance, at least two-thirds of the population of Cuba is currently living in poverty. The wage of the people is only 20 dollars a month, much lower than the international poverty line of 2 dollars a day. However, this figure does not explain the free social services that all Cubans enjoy, and there are no other important income sources such as remittances from abroad.

Cuba is a completely non-Western country and has a completely non-Western poor brand. Poverty in Cuba is serious, especially in rural areas, to obtain goods. The farmers struggle and many women depend on prostitution to make a living. There is little substantial wealth for citizens, living a simple life, few luxury goods, and political freedom is limited. However, this country has enviablely high literacy rate and well-known medical system. In terms of extreme poverty level, Cuba is actually experiencing even worse situations. They talked about past "special times", some people ate people endangered and the Cubans lost an average of 10 pounds. The press said the young people are not satisfied with the current situation of Cuba, but are still faithful to Castro's ideology to recall life before the revolution.
