As part of the umpteenth package of regulatory provisions for non-state actors in the economy, the Cuban regime announced that it will require endorsements from the Ministries of Education and Public Health for all those who charge for the care of children and the elderly.

In a televised conference on the official Channel Caribe, Ariel Fonseca Quesada, director general of employment at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, stated that these actors must have a certification to prove that they are qualified to perform such tasks.

The entry into force is expected on September 19, and according to the television platform on Facebook, this is a process designed gradually that responds not only to the concerns of the population but also to what was established when micro, small, and medium enterprises were created.

He also stated that the measure is part of a set of projections to correct distortions and boost the economy, and reaffirms the update of the legal provisions that regulate non-state economic actors.

According to Cubadebate, the package of measures aims to reorganize resolutions related to the procedures for the creation, merger, division, and dissolution, aspects of economic contracting, and bidding procedures in the relationships between state entities and non-state economic actors, as well as the regulations for taxation and the treatment of prices and rates for self-employed workers.

The adjustments aim, moreover, to consolidate the application of taxes under the principles of universality and tax equity, as well as to enhance the collection of budgetary revenues in accordance with the economic capacity of each taxpayer.

Everything mentioned above was reflected by the regime in a new update of the Official Gazette, published on August 19th.
