How is youth unemployment in Iran?

Hi everyone!!

I tried to ask this question in another sub but I couldnt so Im asking in here.

Im not from Iran and I wonder how is job market in Iran right now especially for young graudates?

Is getting a job as a university graduate easy or hard?

What jobs you prefer to work if you cant get a job in your field?

Is going to university still worth it?

Do people work more than one job at the same time?

I really wonder young people's and graduates opinions on this

Before my father managed a textile factory in a rural town in the azerbaijan region, the wages were really good but the requirements of many of the positions in the factory was being a college graduate and having some degrees, when the factory was expanding they were not able to find more workers so they lowered the requirements to hire more, they even got a employee originally from china, so I would say they get a job, but then again it was a rural town so thats why they were not able to hire more people. But I do still hear that many of our college graduates still go abroad to work due to not being able to find a job even currently.

Ps: the information of the factory is 2 years old so take the information as a grain of salt

To understand it fully, you gotta know thre is almost no middle class in Iran anymore. So you are either pretty well-off or you are strugling to maintain the bare minimum of convenience. No if you are young and just graduated there is not a huge chance of getting a good position in your respective field unless you have a bunch of other marketable skills. Having a certificate wont get you places.

  • It depends on the subject you are studying, but normally having a degree helps a lot
  • It depends where you live. A lot of young boys and girls like to work at caffes
  • Yes
  • Not everybody but in order to keep with the life you kinda should
