NCRI – The unemployment rate among the Iranian women are at least 2.5 times higher than me, the latest statistics published by the Iranian regime reveals.

 

“Unemployment for men is 8.5 percent while for the women the rate reaches 20.3 percent,” a report by the Statistical Center of Iran said.

The figure includes the unemployed population of age of 15 years or older.

Based on the same report the economic activity rate of population aged 10 and over among the men is almost 5.5 times that of the women.

Although the official figures published by the regime are distorted and hard to be trusted, the figures indicate the fact that Iran under the mullahs rule is facing a socioeconomic issue in women’s unemployment.
