This economic downturn, caused by years of the Regime\u2019s mismanagement and corruption, has only been sped up by the US sanctions against the Regime and many Iranians have come to the streets to demand the end of the Regime.<\/p>\n<p>The current soaring unemployment figures in Iran are alarming, according to the Iranian Parliament\u2019s Research Center, and \u201cmay give rise to a crisis\u201d. In fact, according to their own study, the number of unemployed people has risen by more than 3 million between 2014 and 2017, something that the Research Center believes was behind the December-January uprising.<\/p>\n<p>The study said, \u201cThe rise in the unemployment of youth, women, and educated individuals calls for a change in the course of Iran\u2019s economy more than ever before.\u201d <br \/>However, there is no indication of improvement since the study was conducted.<\/p>\n<p>Unemployment statistics<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 70% of factories, workshops, and mines across Iran
