Political configuration and population

Political configuration: The political configuration of the Republic of Cuba consists on a socialist state with a President of the Republic, Prime Minister, Second Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and Commander in Chief of the armed forces.

This system, created after the Cuban Revolution of 1959 establishes the defense of popular democracy and has allowed the country to become a truly socialist state.

Its government is divided into 3 branches:

1.- The National Assembly of Popular Power, which is the supreme organ of the government and controls the constitutive and legislative power.

2.- The Assembly Members, who only justify their actions to their constituents and the local Popular Assembly.

3.- The Cabinet, formed by the President and first Vice-president of the Council of State, other vice-presidents, secretary, ministers and presidents of ministerial institutions.

Other 3 important entities are: the Supreme Popular Court, which acts as Judicial Power, the General Republican Public Prosecution Office guarantees the legal status of citizens and institutions and the "Controladoría General de la Republica" that manages the economy.

Population: Based on an investigation of the population in 2016, the majority of the population has between 45 - 54 years old woman, and men.

From this, we can expect the life expectancy in man is between 80 and 90 years old, and on a female is between 84 and 94 years old.
