The New Cuba
Article Type: News From: International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, Volume 57, Issue 7
Workers in Cuba are waking to new realities. The government is discreetly adopting measures aimed at finally pulling the country out of an economic crisis that has dragged on for more than 15 years.
“The problems of low productivity and low wages will be resolved as each sector implements the formula of paying in accordance with production levels,” said Ariel Terrero, a journalist and researcher who specialises in economic questions.
“The ceiling for wages should be productivity, and not the other way around,” he remarked.
According to Terrero, wages should be linked to performance, especially in leading productive and services sectors, whose development would in turn bring improvements in salaries in other areas, like health and education.
