According to Minister of Labor and Social Security Marta Elena Feito, the country seeks to eliminate the welfare perspective with which the problems are addressed in each community.

This issue remains among the priority points of the Government agenda, which is why experts from the State administration, psychologists and sociologists recently analyzed it during the 2nd Workshop on Social Sciences and Social Transformation.

According to official sources, more than 6,000 social workers support the efforts of change in 1,234 communities.

This allowed that more than 4,000 people joined work, some 2,000 young people started to study and some 700 mothers returned to work.

About this issue, President Miguel Diaz-Canel defends the concept of progressive transformation, in reference to the search for solutions to new problems detected as part of social intervention.
