Peacesign Themed Bedrooms

While in Argentina, according to Hector Mendez (UIA holder), we want to look like a little closer to Cuba , I learned that Rollo La Isla want to cut 500,000 jobs in the public sector. ¿What?

Today, as the note is transcribed below, Cuba would have a total of 3 million people working. A sixth (half million) correspond to the private sector, while the rest, 2,500,000 people would work in the public sector.

Looking for some data, the National Statistics Office Cuban, I found these would show that in 2008, the total number of workers was about 5,000,000 people (3 million would be men, half the people of Scope macho, no?).

However, the 500,000 jobs would correspond to approx. 10% of the number of employed persons in 2008 (latest data available in the series).

What seems quite difficult to achieve is that the private sector to absorb a similar amount of workers they have today.

But on the other hand, if in the public sector is creating "lists" of people more or less necessary "as the note suggests transcribe then generate a number of additional problems. Namely:

i-workers are considered expendable, must face an unfamiliar labor market with a double stigma (one provided by the state and another for his own personal estimate).

ii-Businesses today must include personnel who may not need, unless there be some privatization of state enterprises in Cuba. Besides the labor supply to be absorbed, which would preclude the public sector, so that at first do not think anyone comes out to fight to hire these workers.

iii-By increasing the labor supply (And unemployment), the style of the Industrial Reserve Army of Marxist thought in capitalist economies, it is likely that those who lose out, to shut down the accounts of the state are all private workers via declining real wages. Or at least, through increased competition among new labor market outsiders, perhaps can lead to some increases in productivity that would not be fully reflected in higher real wages.

But anyway, if this is not shock therapy ... where is the shock?

seems to only have to wait Apparently we do not want both! Mendéz maybe the end was protecting us! Quilombo cute ehh ...

I transcribe the note today Scope:

Cuba will dispose of half a million employees in the coming months

Over half a million State workers in Cuba will lose their jobs in coming months, while announcing a radical transformation of pay and working models to alleviate the serious economic situation.

What

that ran for weeks as the island unstoppable rumor was announced in a statement that he had to spread the single union, the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC), which endorsed the measure because it's up to "maintain the systematic monitoring of progress of this process. "

The statement announced and the "reduction of more than 500,000 workers in the state sector and in parallel the increase in non-state sector, and details that this process will take place next year, but later recalled that timescale will be until the first quarter of 2011. "

Some companies were ordered to draw up "lists" of people more or less necessary. The economist Juan Triana, a researcher at the Center for the Study of the Cuban Economy, acknowledged that the extent of half a million without employees is difficult in a country where labor is 3 million, but noted that there are already half a million workers in the private sector.

"accounts (state) and not overstretched and it is very hard for any government, but no choice," Triana said, adding that the absorption of those unemployed must go through "small companies, cooperatives or family work, because Cuba can not think invent anything new. "

The statement did not warrant a new function for the unemployed, but it does suggest a" horizon of options with new forms of non-state employment (as) the lease, usufruct, cooperatives and self-employment where to move hundreds of thousands of workers in the coming years. "

exist in Cuba and hundreds of business activities that are beyond government control, whether in transport, food supplies or technical, tourism .

Paradoxically, the discourse of Espinosa Chepe and other economists seem disaffected with the regime increasingly to the government itself: the statement of the CTC recognizes that there is "change is necessary and urgent to introduce into the economy and society to transform and streamline the current process and productive workforce."

was President Raul Castro (who actually became president in 2006 after the serious illness of his brother Fidel) who more emphatically insisted on the need for change and streamline the bloated state templates, whose surplus reached to encrypt more than one million people.

The president, in a speech last August 1, did however reassure the public: "Nobody will be left to die" because "the Socialist State will provide the support necessary for a dignified life."
