Avidity could be the noun to name the phenomenon of self-employment in San Antonio de los Baños. And no exception, but what happens to the rest of the Cuban localities.
Until October 2010, 558 individuals in the town remained with this modality, born about 1994, there is no doubt that the relaxation of the law that protects them, caused a veritable explosion in many who saw a way to his desire to dominate the business world.
More than 5200 people have been treated in this period by the Employment Unit at Ariguanabo. Not all leave satisfied with what they face, then you know the rules of the game, so they are only valid licenses nearly the half, about 2300.
Much smaller is the number of individuals benefiting from the social security system, provided by this law, which guarantees retirement unrelated to other jobs and housewives, by paying another monthly tax.
The daily picture shows the multiplicity sales of light foods. Without a doubt, have contributed much the self-employed to the population to has varied offerings at times and places that state agencies still are not satisfied. Therefore fulfill a social function that is appreciated, even if they keep improving some details.
The so-called carters with their itinerant outlets also have huge acceptance.
In this case urgently highlight the prices to keep a service as defendant, but not everyone can afford it. It is shameful to buy products that have reduced quality or throw them the food of pigs not to captivate anyone with their relation cost-benefit.
We could list many curiosities about it, but time is gold on the radio.
We highlight the work of repairing the church park by self-employed, perhaps the same infants who have filled the place with the implementation of recreation teams from diverse backgrounds. Their prices do not deserve our praise, but tenacity, an issue that many parents appreciate and pay, although their pockets are clean.
An aside for something essential: the transportation of passengers. Ariguanabo recognized today as the public transport, the self-employed. The bicitaxistas have gained prestige with their services and have been supported by a local to store their equipment. Trucks, vans and rental cars to neighboring municipalities are different means of transport that allows people to move.
People daily arrive to the Employment Unit and to ask permission to start any of these forms of self-employment, but also asking for discharge as many different reasons. Some sick, because the majority can not pay taxes, others because they are not guaranteed holidays.
Not even have a place that will ensure the raw material at reasonable prices. One example is that food processors must purchase their goods in currency stores, leaving them little room to make a profit and pay the taxman.
Besides being a source of employment, self-employment is in the contribution to the country's economy. Explorations are made by the Inspectorate integral municipality, the Employment Unit detect any abnormal situation, indiscipline and irregularities by the self-employed.
Avidity has not ceased. Has changed its style. The amendments to the Tax Act should come into effect next year, as well as other regulations on the marketing of agricultural products. While we wait for the moment, continue enjoying the self-employed initiatives.
