Globalization   Interviews

  


The information system of the country has administered various systems for offering job opportunities. Based on the latest statistics and data presented by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the following organizations have been helpful for offering facilities and providing the grounds for supporting job - creating plans:

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs
The Technical and Professional Training Organization
Job services centers
The General Office for the Vocational Development Abroad
The Welfare Organization
The Ministry of Cooperation
The Cooperative Fund
The Technical Cooperation Office of the Presidency
The Agriculture Bank
The Islamic Revolution Martyrs Foundation
The Collaboration organization for employment of the University Graduates
The Ministry of Mines and Industry
The Youth National Organization

Among these, perhaps we could refer to some institutions such as the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and their affiliates, such as the vocational support funds and the job counseling centers as the major performers in this area. But the actual policies and programs of the government for the employment of the youth, which naturally play the most important role concerning employment, move around the following issues:

Short- term solutions:
Reducing long working hours and occupying more than one job; early retirement; foreseeing legal obligations and encouraging law; implementing large projects dependent on man power; and monitoring the allocated credits for job creations.

Average term solutions:
Technical and professional development training; dispatch of work force to foreign countries; foreign investment attractions; benefiting from the existing capacities in the production and services units; reducing the duration for operating unfinished investmen;t and identifying and promoting new vocations as needed .

Long term solutions:
Promotion of productivity; alleviating obstacles to promotion of investment; and production and development of the social security system.

Perhaps, a short glance at the issue of employment in the third socio-cultural and economic plan would help to clarify the above mentioned points more easily [annex 1].

-Encouraging employers of the existing work shops to maintain their new work force through vocational services centers of the Ministry of labor and Social Affairs through discount on the insurance rate and reduction of the tax payment by the employers (article 49) .
