Enfoque de la desigualdad social en periodo de crisis: experiencia cubana

the design of a social strategy under the principles of equity and justice is embedded in the cuban revolutionary transformations. a core component of this strategy deeply rooted in the cardinal principles of no exclusion and universal equality of rights, was a policy to cope with poverty and disparities, . starting from the years 1989-90, after the collapse of the soviet union, cuba was exposed to the effects of the severe economic crisis known as "special period". in these critical circumstances the country was forced to develop a process of adjustments and economic transformations, without abandoning the planned regulation of the economy, or the social control of the society over the course of the socialist development. signs of social stratifications emerged that led to an abrupt and quick process of expansion of the socioeconomic inequalities.
