Youth unemployment stands at 19 percent, women\u2019s joblessness exceeds 15 percent, and underemployment has risen to 7.6 percent.

Children are increasingly deprived of education and nutrition, and elderly citizens struggle to access healthcare. What remains of Iran\u2019s middle class is rapidly collapsing, turning poverty from an economic condition into a social catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While regime-linked economists point to a slight improvement in the Gini coefficient \u2014 a measure of inequality \u2014 this \u201cimprovement\u201d merely reflects the fact that everyone has become poorer, not that the poor have grown wealthier.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NCRI Statement: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> Regime Sets Minimum Wage 3.5 Times Below Poverty Line<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y3mbcfqfyB\">https:\/\/t.co\/y3mbcfqfyB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1901597380551565673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A \u201cLine of Death,\u201d Not Poverty<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ultimately, the government\u2019s declared poverty line is not an indicator of economic policy but an instrument of denial. Behind these numbers lies a brutal truth: millions of Iranians go to bed hungry, children are forced out of school, and the elderly suffer without medical care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Skyrocketing rents (over 40 percent annual increase), failed welfare programs, and ongoing political crises have made poverty a structural feature of life under the clerical regime. Yet, instead of addressing the causes, Khamenei\u2019s regime hides behind fabricated statistics \u2014 an attempt to disguise the collapse of a system that has long abandoned its people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In today\u2019s Iran, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/how-many-iranians-live-below-the-poverty-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the \u201cpoverty line\u201d<\/a> no longer marks the limit of economic survival.
