The online seminar also provided stark statistics about work in Iran in the time between the 2022 nationwide cost of living strikes and protests for Woman, Life, Freedom, which also began last year and continue until today. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/profile.ut.ac.ir\/en\/~palaedini\">Pooya Alaedini<\/a>, from the University of Tehran\u2019s Faculty of Social Sciences, female unemployment rate in the first half of 2021\u201322 stood at 16.6 per cent, as opposed to 19.9 per cent in 2017\u201318. Unemployment rates also went down for men \u2014 7.8 per cent in 2021\u201322 compared to 10.01 per cent in 2017\u201318. These falling rates, Alaedini maintained were not entirely good news; they had been influenced by Covid, which shrunk the overall numbers of people available to work, the result of the virus in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>US sanctions against Iranian oil exports also significantly damaged jobs and living standards in the country. Government workers suffered under austerity measures the Islamic Republic imposed because of\u00ad\u00ad sanctions. Farmers and agricultural workers were the hardest hit, in part due to ongoing water shortages and drought.<\/p>\n<p>During 2021\u201322, male participation in the labor force stood at 68.9 per cent. For women \u2014 despite high rates of university education \u2014 it was only 13.6 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>For the young, between the ages of 18 and 35, unemployment figures were 16.6 per cent over the same period. While for women the same age, it was a whopping 28.3 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, participation for female college graduates in the labor force was 50.5 per cent against women\u2019s overall labor force participation, at just 13.6 per cent. Even so, anecdotal evidence suggests that only low paying employment is available for highly educated women. So higher education, for women at least, was no guarantee of better paying jobs.<\/p>\n<p>During the Bourse &amp; Bazaar Foundation seminar, the political comparative historical sociologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zepkalb.com\/\">Zep Kalb<\/a> noted that the main participants in the cost of living and food protests were not Iran\u2019s professional class, but farmers, contract workers (especially those in the oil and gas sector), teachers and pensioners.\u00a0 These 2021\u201322 figures were reported before the Woman Life Freedom protests rocked Iran, starting in the autumn of last year. In those nationwide demonstrations women were protesting against wearing the hijab as well as their lack of job and life opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Peyman Hooshmandzadeh\u2019s photographs of Iran at work do not show the professional classes at work in their private businesses, government offices or in health care. His view is rather from the street; ordinary people going about their daily lives and jobs, in the country\u2019s capital, Tehran, and the tenth century religious city of Mashhad. Considering what the statistics reveal, it\u2019s no wonder that women are seemingly absent.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014Malu Halasa<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery\"><div id=\"gallery-58\" class=\"gallery-frame\"><div class=\"gallery-frame-single\"><div class=\"gallery-frame-single-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" class=\"gallery-img-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the apparel sellers\u2019 quarter of the Grand Bazaar of Tehran (all images courtesy Peyman Hooshmandzadeh).\"\/><\/a><div class=\"gallery-frame-caption\"><p>Inside the apparel sellers\u2019 quarter of the Grand Bazaar of Tehran (all images courtesy Peyman Hooshmandzadeh).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-frame-single\"><div class=\"gallery-frame-single-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" class=\"gallery-img-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" alt=\"Members of a Shia Taziya (Shia passion play) group returning to their local mosque, after a performance at the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, during the annual Ashura commemorations of Imam Hussein\u2019s martyrdom.\"\/><\/a><div class=\"gallery-frame-caption\"><p>Members of a Shia Taziya (Shia passion play) group returning to their local mosque, after a performance at the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, during the annual Ashura commemorations of Imam Hussein\u2019s martyrdom.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-frame-single\"><div class=\"gallery-frame-single-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" class=\"gallery-img-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Peyman-Hooshmanzadeh_1000pix.jpg\" alt=\"One of the side streets behind Meydan Ferdowsi (Ferdowsi Roundabout, or Square) in central Tehran.
