Cuba's Population Decline and Demographic Challenges
Cuba's communist regime admitted a significant decrease in population, with fewer than 10 million Cubans living in the country. The low birthrates and increasing elderly population pose challenges for economic and social development strategies. The collapse of Cuba's population is attributed to decades of communist policies and has led to a humanitarian crisis and mass migration.
