Cuba
ASM Population: 6,000
No more recent data than ILO-99. As not a gold producer, only small but no significant increase to be expected. Perhaps salt and industrial minerals. → 6,000
Min/max: High uncertainty. → 5,000 - 10,000
Female participation: no data. perhaps → 1,000?
Gold: none
Data sources for estimation
2018: 5,000
ARM-18 and IGF-18 replicate ILO-99 data
2014: 7,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 7,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 0.2 t/a
- Probably to be interpreted as all minerals, as there are no records of gold production in Cuba
1999: 5,000
(ILO-99): Employment: 5,000
Number of mines: > 300
Illegal mines: +/- 10%
