23 Million Iranian Women Unemployed

Overall, the conclusions of this report are alarming: 22,800,000 literate women in Iran are without jobs. If we exclude the approximately 5 million girls over 10 (“working age”) who are still in school, that leaves close to 18 million women, a disturbing number even if the situation has changed over the last year or so. And if it has changed, it’s, of course, possible that it has changed for the worse.
