But can Iranian workers make a decent living from this salary? On April 20, 2020, the secretary of work relations in the Labor Ministry Esmaeil Zarifi Azad said, \u201cIn the past 40 years, the salaries of workers have increased by a factor of 900, while the price of gasoline has increased 3,000-fold, bread has become 3,000 times more expensive, the prices of vehicles has increased by a factor of 3,000, the price of housing 6,000, and the prices of coins 10,000.\u201d According to various sources, rampant inflation and skyrocketing prices have pushed the poverty line in Iran above 100 million rials per month, which means workers are at best earning barely a fourth of what they need to make a decent living. But how is the minimum wage declared in Iran? According to article 41 of Iran\u2019s labor law, the minimum salary of workers in different parts of the country and different industries must be adjusted based on the inflation rate declared by the Central Bank and must be enough to provide the needs of a family. But the regime cheats on its own law to put up a fa\u00e7ade of conformance with the standards of the International Labor Organization. For instance, the United Nations determines families as having four members, but the regime has reduced the size of families to 2-3 members to reduce minimum wages. The labor law also states that the minimum wage of workers must be determined by the \u201cSupreme Council of Labor.\u201d This council apparently has three sides: the representative of the government, employers, and workers. But in practice, this council serves the government\u2019s needs. What this proves is that the Labor Council is just a show. So who determines the minimum wage? Currently, a large part of Iran\u2019s economy is in the clutches of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). An example is the IRGC\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Construction garrison, which according to its former commander \u201ccontrols 35 percent of gasoline, 20 percent of natural gas, 22 percent of diesel fuel, 32 percent of oil and gas pipelines, and 50 percent of the country\u2019s dams. Khatam employs about 5,000 advisory and construction contractors and has a 200,000-strong workforce. This shows that in reality, Khamenei\u2019s office and the IRGC play the principal role in determining the minimum wage of workers. For instance, in November 2015, about four months before the minimum wage for the 2016 was declared, Javan Online, a news website run by the IRGC, predicted that the minimum wage will be 8.3 million rials. Interestingly, the labor minister declared that exact figure later on. Now let\u2019s compare salaries in Iran with other countries Based on the current exchange rate, the monthly salary of Iranian workers is &#36;106. The minimum monthly salary is &#36;423 in Turkey, &#36;312 in the Republic of Azerbaijan, &#36;749 in Jordan, and &#36;526 in Turkmenistan. This means the salary of Iranian workers is less than a seventh of that of Jordanian workers. This brutal exploitation of the worker class has caused such an economic divide in Iran that on the one hand, employed workers can\u2019t even feed their families while the ruling elite are earning stellar income and don\u2019t know how to spend their money. This is why, according to the Mostaghel newspaper, \u201cIn Tehran, there are 14,000 people making their living from collecting garbage, 4,600 of whom are children. There are half-a-million labor children. If they don\u2019t work, their lives will be faced with very deep crises.\u201d On April 12, 2020, Arman Daily reported that 32 million of Iran\u2019s 85-million-strong population are living in city slums. \u201cIn Tehran, the population of city slums has increased to 11 million\u2026 The density of the impoverished and slum dwellers across the country is a social timebomb that can explode any time and cause social unrest.\u201d What are the prospects for the Iranian society? Given the inflation and skyrocketing prices caused by government corruption, in the next few months, the minimum wage will probably further drop to a fifth of the poverty line. At such a point, the entire society is in crisis mode. The first spark will turn the outrage of the people into an uncontainable explosion, and will turn the coming year into one of uprising, nationwide protests, and the overthrow of the mullahs\u2019 dictatorship. ------------------------------ Music: I Am a Man Who Will Fight for Your Honor by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/ Source: http:\/\/chriszabriskie.com\/honor\/ Artist: http:\/\/chriszabriskie.com\/\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eghtesad-e\u00a0Pouya\u00a0acknowledged the real concern of the regime\u2019s economists and state media by underlining that \u201cEconomic and social crises have brought the country to a dangerous point, and if the crisis is not managed and controlled as soon as possible, the [regime] will enter a more difficult path.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The recent protests across Iran showed the Iranian people consider the regime the only source of Iran\u2019s crises.
