Study Finds Cubans Skeptical of Reforms

Main results:

Daily Life Problems:
The interviewers asked Cubans to identify the main problems that they face in their daily lives. About 59 percent mentioned some kind of economic problem, principally low wages but also high prices, the double currency, and not being able to buy enough food.

Cuba’s Goals for the Next Decade:
Asked what their country’s main goal for the next 10 years should be, three out of four respondents said economic stability (75 percent). Only 8 percent said freedom of expression, 5 percent mentioned order, and 4 percent greater participation.

Materialist and Postmaterialist Values:
This indicator in Cuba adds evidence to support the view that a survival set of values is clearly predominant in the country, and it also shows a remarkable correlation with indicators from China and Russia, suggesting that Cuba may well be located close to those countries in the Survival/Self-expression value dimension.

Traditional and Modern Values:
The previous discussion demonstrates how Cubans, despite being relatively open to sexual diversity, are driven by a sense of economic insecurity, which brings them closer to a set of values that the WVS literature calls “survival values.”
