The government of Cuba is making a nationwide push to increase the number of babies as the country registers lowest number of newborns in Latin America.

The island nation is in the midst of a broad campaign to drive up a birth rate that has fallen to the lowest in Latin America after years of fewer births, that mean that the number of working-age people in Cuba is expected to shrink starting next year, terrible news for an island attempting to jumpstart its stagnant centrally planned economy.
