More than one million Cubans, representing thirty percent of the countrys labor force, currently make up the nonstate sector. These include selfemployed workers and microentrepreneurs, sharecropping farmers, members of new cooperatives, and buyers and sellers of private dwellings. This development represents a crucial structural reform implemented by Ral Castro since becoming Cubas leader in 2006, and may become the most dynamic economic force for the countrys future. Despite this phenomenon, little has been published about the demographic makeup of this group (age, gender, race, and education), as well as their economic conditions and aspirations.Based on eighty indepth interviews recently conducted in Cuba, this book captures actual voices from this evolving economic sector. It details workers level of satisfaction with what they do and earn, profits (and how they are allocated between consumption and investment), plans to expand their activities, receiving foreign remittances and microcredit, competition, forms of advertising, and payment of taxes. Perhaps most revealing are the speakers views on the obstacles they face and their desires for change and improvement. As such, the book offers fascinating insights into todays Cuban economy from the nonstate sector, while also reflecting on its potential for development and the obstacles it faces.
