Productivity : Cuba last

According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Cuba ranks last in the regional ranking of low-productivity countries. The main reasons are Cuba's low growth, high social inequality, and a growing migration of skilled professionals. According to the report, Cuba not only ranks last in absolute terms of labor productivity, but has also experienced a decline in its productivity over the past two years.
