The article discusses the apprehensions of the young Cubans in relation to the move of the U.S. in lifting the trade embargo against Cuba. It states that the youth has barely felt the improvement of the country's economic condition despite the evidence of progress in the streets of Havana including the establishments of restaurants and clubs. It adds the results of economic reform will slowly filter into the lives of young Cubans unless the government will show their desire for prosperity.
