-------- Original message -------- Subject: New GLC article: Labour and economic reform in Cuba From: list-glcol...@ilo.org To: list-glcol...@ilo.org CC: Dear GLC readers, In this week’s GLC article, David Espina, Anamary Linares and Oscar Estrada discuss the challenges associated with the reforms initiated by Raul Castro in Cuba. These challenges largely stem from the government’s attempt to scale down the public sector, which employs most Cubans. Integrating the workers who will be shed during this process into the private sector is proving to be very difficult, due to operating constraints, the oligopolistic structure of the private sector, and the lack of coordination between the public and private sector. Please find the full article attached to this email and on our blog: http://column.global-labour-university.org/ We encourage you to make comments at the end of the article. ****Erratum** Please note that there was an error in last week's GLC article. The article stated that the Minimum Wage Act in South Korea was implemented in 1998, when this happened in *1988*. This has been corrected in both the web version of the article and on the pdf.
