Women looking for job in Iran

The state-run IRNA news agency has published a full report on unemployment of women in Iran.
“Unemployment amongst women in 20 provinces across Iran is above 20%, and only 11 provinces are actually under 20%. The provinces of Fars and Mazandaran, with 37.8% and 31.8% respectively, have the highest rate of women’s unemployment in the country.”
The state-run IRNA news agency reported currently women’s employment in Iran is currently in poor conditions, and this is even far worse for young women. Unemployment amongst women between the ages of 15 and 24 in Iran is over 40%.
Statistics show unemployment rates amongst young women in Kohgilaviye & Boyer Ahmad Province to be 82.8%, and these numbers are 70.5% in Alborz Province; 68.7% in Ilam Province; 77.3% in Tehran Province; 65.6% in Mazandaran Province; and 62.3% in Chahar Mahal & Bakhtiary Province.
The numbers stated above show that young women in provinces across the country are looking for work, but are unable in finding work.
Two provinces of Fars and Mazandaran have unemployment rates above 30% for women, and unemployment rates for young women 51.3% and 65.6%, respectively in these two provinces. Both are due to specific reasons in these provinces.
Unemployment means living life without any money, no social identity and disappointment that is cementing a climate of hopelessness for those seeking work in Iran, whereas women being able to find work means much more than just their social identity, but also having access to financial income.
This state-run news agency wrote in conclusion: Unemployment rates in Iran are alarming. The unemployed population being on the rise each day cannot have a good message.
