Question

What is the average income in cuba?

Answer 1

Check the site below Looks like about $15.00 per month

Answer 2

It's around $10-15 a month ($216-285 CUP/month -- $8.65 USD-and up )...depending on what their job is. And they work about 44 hours a week (full-time).

If one works at a resort, they tend to make more with their tips.

Many are able to live well if they manage their money properly. But they also work together as family units and support each other in many different ways.

Answer 3

Its funny how everyone touts Cuba's universal health care as  great and available to its Citizen's, when most Cubans must bring their own sheets and medicines to the hospital.  The health care that most of you see is for tourists and party officials, yes they get wonderful health care, for free.  The only people who are allowed an education through PHD are those who side  with the "Party" anyone who oppose the regime is not allowed to continue their education. In fact, until John Paul II visited Cuba children who's parents were Christian were harassed by the teachers and school administrators. You see the only God in Cuba is Fidel.  The average citizen makes about 12.00 per month Doctors tend to make about 25.00 a month.  Many Doctors must supplement their income by driving taxis.  All of the money spent in Cuba by tourists goes to the continuation of an oppressive regime which systematically represses its citizen's right to free speech, freedom of assembly, the right to strike, form unions, or preform any act that opposes the government.  Keep traveling to Cuba and supporting the torture of innocent people who are serving life sentences for writing anything that contradicts the rhetoric that constantly fools all of you.  (See Human Rights Watch and the ILO web pages)

Answer 4

I agree about the context of the cost of living.

There are two currencies in Cuba. The convertible peso is for tourists and visitors, to simplify the artificial problems with the exchange rate but there are also local pesos that will buy more than you would expect from the exchange rate. Basic food prices are controlled.

There are also some advantages, such as universal health care, including dentistry, essential tooth straightening and eye care, and free education up to PhD if you can make the grades. Recreation activities such as athletic training and kids' sports  are free. lt all helps balance a small budget.

Addition:

I visited a Cuban hospital in a small town this year and it was nothing like the description below.

Cuban people seriously want tourists. Tourism is a major industry, bringing in much needed foreign currency and providing a huge amount of direct and indirect employment.

Answer 5

You also need to put in to context the cost of living when many things are heavily subsidised.
