Poverty in Iran has reached alarming levels, with 22 to 27 percent of the population struggling to meet basic needs, according to Ebrahim Sadeghifar, head of the Institute of Labor and Social Welfare. A recent report indicated that over 30 percent of Iranians are living below the poverty line, exacerbated by rampant inflation and economic mismanagement. The rising poverty is impacting education, leading to increased school dropouts and raising concerns about the future of young Iranians. Urgent action is needed to address the root causes, including inflation, unemployment, and social inequality, to improve the lives of millions.
