 Tehran, Iran, Sep. 11 – Women
have been finding it evermore difficult to find employment in Iran and their social
rights have continuously deteriorated since the 1979 revolution that swept to
power fundamentalist Islamic clerics, according to a recent economic survey
in the country.
The study has indicated that over the past four decades, despite the fact
that women constitute half of the population in Iran, the men-women
employment ratio reached 90-10 respectively.
Strikingly, while women have made up more than 60 percent of university
entrants in the past five years, the recent survey showed that women
represent only 12 percent of the country’s economically active population
