- 0:01Speaker 1: When an epidemic occurs, the labor market is both the
- 0:05Speaker 1: first place to be affected and the last place to
- 0:09Speaker 1: be out of the epidemic. We have learned a lot
- 0:11Speaker 1: from Iran's economy. The shocks that have been imposed on
- 0:14Speaker 1: them and have now reached their peak with the war
- 0:17Speaker 1: of reconciliation. Now the question arises, what path do these
- 0:20Speaker 1: shocks take to reach the labor market? Stay with us
- 0:24Speaker 1: in this part of the Ravand program. The Iranian economy
- 0:42Speaker 1: in the year 1404 faced three major shocks, including the
- 0:44Speaker 1: 12-day war, the two-month protests, and the four-day war. These shocks,
- 0:46Speaker 1: including the shutdown of the Internet, the closure of markets,
- 0:49Speaker 1: the collapse of the labor market, the remote work, the
- 0:52Speaker 1: online education, the destruction of infrastructure, and the civilian and
- 0:55Speaker 1: military areas were together. According to a report published by
- 1:01Speaker 1: the Iranian Center for Information Technology, these three issues were
- 1:05Speaker 1: one of the five main channels affecting the work and
- 1:08Speaker 1: life of the people. The first issue is the creation
- 1:10Speaker 1: of a disorder in the internet. We have seen this
- 1:12Speaker 1: issue in all three issues in the past year, which
- 1:15Speaker 1: caused problems with digital and online platforms. Even traditional platforms
- 1:19Speaker 1: were not in our control because the card machines were
- 1:22Speaker 1: also disturbed by the internet. This incident made it impossible
- 1:30Speaker 1: to work remotely and teach online. Because of the uncertainty
- 1:33Speaker 1: of these three issues, people stopped working actively because they
- 1:36Speaker 1: were afraid of the bombings in both cities, the city's insecurity,
- 1:40Speaker 1: and the isolation of the work centers and institutions, the
- 1:44Speaker 1: laborers paid a lot more than the potential benefits of
- 1:46Speaker 1: that opportunity. Therefore, in such times, we must also pay
- 1:56Speaker 1: attention to the number of non-active communities, in addition to
- 2:03Speaker 1: the unemployment. In addition to this situation, in the social
- 2:06Speaker 1: protests of the previous month, the presence of people on
- 2:09Speaker 1: the streets and on the streets was more dangerous in
- 2:12Speaker 1: commercial areas, and some people who were students could not
- 2:15Speaker 1: go to work, and sometimes they also became unemployed. So
- 2:19Speaker 1: one of the effects that the world can have on
- 2:22Speaker 1: the labor market is a decrease in the quality of work.
- 2:25Speaker 1: This happens in the direction of negative employment, a problem
- 2:27Speaker 1: that usually occurs before unemployment increases. This means that the
- 2:30Speaker 1: quality of work has become worse and many of the
- 2:33Speaker 1: full-time jobs have given their place to hourly projects or
- 2:36Speaker 1: day jobs. Many employers have reduced the working hours and
- 2:44Speaker 1: rights instead of taking out the workforce because of high
- 2:49Speaker 1: unemployment and risk. This may actually cause unemployment to rise
- 2:52Speaker 1: a lot, but if it continues, the possibility of unemployment
- 2:55Speaker 1: and the decline of the workforce will increase. The three
- 3:01Speaker 1: points that we pointed out greatly increased the general level
- 3:03Speaker 1: of prices from two main paths. One was the increase
- 3:06Speaker 1: in production costs and the other was the increase in
- 3:09Speaker 1: employment expectations. Even before the war, laborers were under very
- 3:13Speaker 1: high economic pressure and the rise in the value of money,
- 3:15Speaker 1: the increase in production costs and the new wave of
- 3:18Speaker 1: employment caused the prices of clothes and services to increase dramatically.
- 3:27Speaker 1: As a result, the program was not completed and the
- 3:29Speaker 1: purchasing power of many families was reduced. In the course
- 3:32Speaker 1: of the war and the expansion of the Internet, the
- 3:36Speaker 1: conditions became more difficult for people and jobs. In addition
- 3:40Speaker 1: to these events, the motivation for investment and the creation
- 3:44Speaker 1: of new jobs was also reduced. When there is a
- 3:46Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty, people take their money for free and
- 3:48Speaker 1: take it cheap. And the employees are less likely to
- 3:54Speaker 1: expand their work or establish a new force As a result,
- 3:58Speaker 1: the decrease in demand is deeper depression and weaker market
- 4:02Speaker 1: For this reason, reaching the working situation is not just
- 4:06Speaker 1: counting the jobs But it shows how much the economy
- 4:08Speaker 1: can tolerate the boom and return to normal conditions So far,
- 4:18Speaker 1: we have talked about the impact channels on the country's
- 4:20Speaker 1: labor market so that these effects are neutralized and we
- 4:25Speaker 1: reach a good situation in the labor market, we must
- 4:27Speaker 1: have a good economy. Let's continue to look at the
- 4:30Speaker 1: high-economic factors to see if we can expect a profitable
- 4:33Speaker 1: labor market from this economy or not. Let's start with
- 4:40Speaker 1: the economic growth. This share was negative in the mid-1990s
- 4:43Speaker 1: and in general it was very negative. The important point
- 4:47Speaker 1: to note is that the growth without oil prices has
- 4:50Speaker 1: always been lower and less negative. This shows that Iran's
- 4:56Speaker 1: economy is very dependent on oil revenue and the non-oil
- 4:59Speaker 1: sector cannot create a sustainable growth. In the end, the
- 5:03Speaker 1: decline in economic growth affects the market and causes a
- 5:06Speaker 1: decline in employment. The next important factor is inflation. In
- 5:12Speaker 1: the past few months, the annual turnover is facing record-breaking records.
- 5:15Speaker 1: With the rise of the economy and the high turnover,
- 5:17Speaker 1: the ability to buy families is rapidly decreasing, and even
- 5:21Speaker 1: the remaining employees in the labor market are faced with
- 5:23Speaker 1: low employment and lower income. Because of this condition, families
- 5:26Speaker 1: become dependent on government friends, and in a situation where
- 5:30Speaker 1: the government is a double-edged sword, the unemployment increase is
- 5:33Speaker 1: looking for unbearable social costs. Therefore, the improvement of the
- 5:43Speaker 1: work force is not only making the decline of the
- 5:46Speaker 1: recession worse, but also reminding the country of the economic
- 5:50Speaker 1: and social stability of the country. In addition, the income
- 5:54Speaker 1: of the Iranian capital has also reached a worrisome level,
- 5:58Speaker 1: due to the decline in the purchasing power of the
- 5:59Speaker 1: real estate of families, which has caused the decline of
- 6:03Speaker 1: the society. In the year of 1404, this trend continued, war,
- 6:07Speaker 1: production problems, financial decline and uncertainty made the situation worse,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and the actual income of the people decreased from what was.
- 6:14Speaker 1: As a result, the gap between income and living expenses
- 6:17Speaker 1: is more every day than yesterday, and the table of
- 6:20Speaker 1: many families is smaller than before. So we are now
- 6:29Speaker 1: faced with a situation where we used to be in
- 6:30Speaker 1: a position of weak economy with high inflation and low
- 6:34Speaker 1: people's purchasing power. By the end of 1403, about 44%
- 6:36Speaker 1: of the people were under the absolute poverty line, and
- 6:39Speaker 1: this economic pressure caused the increase in social inequalities. After
- 6:51Speaker 1: the war, the closure of the workplaces due to the
- 6:53Speaker 1: loss of working opportunities and the damage to the labor
- 6:57Speaker 1: market made the situation worse and hundreds of thousands of
- 7:01Speaker 1: people were expelled from the labor market. Now, with the
- 7:03Speaker 1: continuation of economic problems, this number has probably increased. Now,
- 7:08Speaker 1: the most open-minded person can go to the workers' market
- 7:11Speaker 1: and criticize them. This example shows the course of changes
- 7:15Speaker 1: in the labor community from the 90s to 1403. In
- 7:17Speaker 1: this period, three times We were facing a decline in
- 7:22Speaker 1: the number of students Most of them were in 1999
- 7:25Speaker 1: and at the same time with the coronavirus outbreak More
- 7:28Speaker 1: than 1 million people were expelled from the country's university
- 7:32Speaker 1: Let's go to the slide and check the details of
- 7:35Speaker 1: this study in the year 1404 The difference between the
- 7:37Speaker 1: decline in employment in 1999 and 1404 is that the
- 7:40Speaker 1: effects of the coronavirus outbreak mainly occurred in a more
- 7:43Speaker 1: than one year time frame But fortunately, the 12-day and
- 7:52Speaker 1: 40-day wars were much shorter in terms of time. In
- 7:54Speaker 1: order to prevent the situation of bad employment in the
- 7:58Speaker 1: labor market more, social security documents have also been received.
- 8:01Speaker 1: With the exception that the latest documents published by this
- 8:04Speaker 1: organization are in the year 1404, the Iranian room has
- 8:07Speaker 1: received changes in the number of unemployed people in this
- 8:09Speaker 1: report in the month of December compared to the last
- 8:13Speaker 1: few years. The course of changes in this sector in
- 8:18Speaker 1: the past few years shows that in the first 10
- 8:20Speaker 1: months of the year 1402 and 1403, an unprecedented number
- 8:23Speaker 1: of social security organizations have increased Which also means an
- 8:29Speaker 1: increase in employment. But in the first 10 months of
- 8:33Speaker 1: the year 1404, the number of unemployed people has decreased
- 8:36Speaker 1: by more than 611,000. This issue itself can have serious consequences.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Because the social security system is facing a lack of
- 8:42Speaker 1: resources right now. And with the decrease in the number
- 8:45Speaker 1: of unemployed, this problem is formed. This is why the
- 8:50Speaker 1: organization is forced to withdraw from its resources or withdraw
- 8:54Speaker 1: from the government, which can, in the form of a
- 8:57Speaker 1: defective circle, cause the formation of a budget and eventually collapse.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Unemployed people alone cannot cause a surge in unemployment after
- 9:06Speaker 1: the war and reflect various shocks, because this phenomenon only
- 9:09Speaker 1: includes people who were active in looking for work. However,
- 9:14Speaker 1: in the very uncertain conditions of war, a large part
- 9:18Speaker 1: of the active community withdraws from the scope of work
- 9:22Speaker 1: and enters the non-active community. According to the latest data,
- 9:28Speaker 1: more than 1,350,000 people have been expelled from the labor
- 9:31Speaker 1: market in the winter of 1404 compared to the spring
- 9:33Speaker 1: of 1404. In fact, the joy of war is more
- 9:35Speaker 1: than increasing unemployment, but it has also taken the motivation
- 9:38Speaker 1: to work in the society. For the change of the
- 9:50Speaker 1: number of factories in the game of Esfand 1403 to
- 9:53Speaker 1: the death of 1404, that is, before and after the
- 9:56Speaker 1: 12 days war with a 22% decrease. On the other hand,
- 10:02Speaker 1: the number of 1-person factories has increased by 12%, which
- 10:05Speaker 1: is probably due to the reduction of larger factories to
- 10:10Speaker 1: individual factories. On the other hand, several zero-person workplaces were
- 10:20Speaker 1: also at a 7.7% decline. This decline does not mean improvement,
- 10:24Speaker 1: but it means that some of the agreements that were
- 10:27Speaker 1: completely abolished before were completely abolished. In other words, the
- 10:31Speaker 1: war has not only reduced the number of students, but
- 10:35Speaker 1: has also reduced the construction of employment towards small, unofficial,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and unfinished projects. The Iranian economy, before the shock of
- 10:44Speaker 1: the year 1404, was facing a downward economic growth and
- 10:47Speaker 1: an absolute rise in poverty. In the same way, two
- 10:50Speaker 1: wars and one social protest happened in just one year,
- 10:54Speaker 1: which caused the country's economy to be more fragile than before.
- 11:01Speaker 1: The spread of the Internet and the destruction of the
- 11:03Speaker 1: country's military and industrial infrastructure, the extermination of thousands of
- 11:07Speaker 1: factories and factories, and more importantly, the loss of trust
- 11:11Speaker 1: and motivation for any form of economic activity, not only
- 11:14Speaker 1: caused by the loss of jobs, but also by the
- 11:18Speaker 1: lack of understanding of the meaning of work in the
- 11:21Speaker 1: literature of the labor market.
