PIP: The rapid decrease in fertility levels in Cuba over the past decade constitutes an interesting problem for researchers. Only a few highly industrialized countries, the U.S., Hungary, New Zealand, Oceania and Japan, have observed a situation somewhat similar to that in Cuba. This article analyzes the change in fertility expressed in the reversal of various indicators: the estimated birth rate, the general fertility rate by age, summary of the reduction in the total birth rate. It is possible to observe a reduction in all levels which demonstrates a change in reproductive behavior among Cuban couples. In addition, the distribution of age groups has been modified, increasing the elderly population. This pattern has been repeated more or less on an international scale.^ieng
