Los cuidados a personas mayores en Cuba en un contexto de crisis estructural y de refamiliarización de la política social

Abstract

In this chapter we will analyze the changes in regulations and social policy due to the structural reforms implemented in recent years, the current caregiving services focusing on older adults, and community initiatives from civil society in Cuba. We will discuss their main characteristics as well as the predominant approaches. For the analysis we will use the data available from official sources, the map of care initiatives prepared by Cuido60, and public documents about creating a national caregiving system in Cuba.
