Women\u2019s unemployment rate is more than 19% and more than double the men\u2019s based on official figures published in spring 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She noted a 26 percent gap between women\u2019s employment in services and industry sectors. In spring 2015, only 24 percent of women were employed in the industrial sector, she said. Some 25% are employed in the agriculture sector, and 50% in the services sector.<\/p>\n<p>The Labor Ministry advisor on women\u2019s affairs acknowledged that gender segregation is an impediment in employment of women which limits their choice of jobs, reduces their wages and undermines their prestige.<\/p>\n<p>Some officials of the clerical regime have in recent years opposed women in occupation, claiming that it \u201charms the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mullah Yousef Tabatabaii-Nejad, Friday Prayer Leader and Ali Khamenei\u2019s representative in Isfahan, declared on November 18, \u201cIt is not a woman\u2019s right to work.
