Hammihan newspaper discussed<\/a> the likelihood of Iranian factories shutting down in the coming years due to a labor shortage.<\/p>\nThe source wrote today, “Iran’s industrial landscape is turning into a hub of aging factories, and a handful of factories are benefiting from monopolies, while industrial exports are in a steep decline. According to experts, the instability, uncertainties pervading the country’s economic, political, and social environment, the lack of a clear vision, the high risks associated with production, impromptu regulations, and the complex and challenging business environment in Iran are among the main reasons for the migration of skilled labor out of the country.”<\/p>\n
Hammihan added, “The Chairman of the Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance Commission at Iran’s Chamber of Commerce emphasized that the absence of skilled labor in various fields due to migration is a significant challenge for Iran’s economy, especially in the private sector. Despite warnings over the years, the government has not addressed this issue with clear policies. He warned, ‘In the coming years, the shortage of skilled labor will undoubtedly become one of the primary challenges for our economic enterprises.'”<\/p>\n
