Where have Cuba’s people gone?
We investigate the collapse in the Caribbean island’s population.
The Cuban government has announced that their population has fallen by 10% in two years – just days after a demographer on the Caribbean island suggested an even bigger fall.
But which is the right number, and why are so many people leaving?
We speak to Dr Emily Morris from University College London and Dr Jorge Duany from the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University.
