Labor Migration Programs within the Socialist Bloc. Cuban Guestworkers in Late Socialist Czechoslovakia and Hungary
Original language description
Cuba’s accession to the Comecon in 1972 opened an opportunity for the Socialist Bloc countries to involve citizens of the Caribbean island in their respective labor migration programs. Since the end of the 1970s, thousands of Cubans annually were coming to Czechoslovakia to work. Since 1981, hundreds of them arrived annually in Hungary, too. The article contextualizes the labor migration program in both countries and offers groundwork on this topic hitherto unstudied. It also addresses issues such as working and housing conditions, salary policies, social life and social interaction of Cuban guestworkers with local populations. The text covers mostly the 1980s and is framed by the intergovernmental agreements on the employment of Cubans. The authors suggest that labor migration programs in the Socialist Bloc were triggered by factors similar to those in the West (especially labor shortage) and that some of the accompanying social phenomena in the ‘capitalist’ and ‘socialist’ world were not dissimilar.
