Abstract From the relationship between population and development, this paper aims to examine the impact of economic conditions on demographic processes and health, in light of the Cuban experience. Also notes the significance of public policy, social protection and the potential of organized social response in emerging economies, as is the case of Cuba. Socio demographic impact of the crisis of the nineties of the twentieth century is resumed. For this, emphasis is made on the analysis of some groups such as women and families, carriers of traits that can make them vulnerable in certain contexts. The social response to such consequences is also noted. Discernment between the socio-demographic manifestations that may be the result of a very advanced demographic transition or the impact of adverse economic conditions is also made. Among them are accounted the declining fertility levels, the incidence of abortion and patterns of marital unions. Finally, some fragments of stories pertaining to a case study in Havana during 2006 and 2007 are reflected. This is intended to show features present in the individual health care decisions.
