Social Insurance Cover Rises in Q1

Iran's Social Security Organization covered 37.05 million people in the first quarter of the current Iranian year that started in March, posting 3.1% growth on the same period last year.
The Statistical Center of Iran said the primary insured accounted for 39% of the total. Dependents, such as spouse, parents and children of the primary insured accounted for the remaining 61%.
An estimated 471,000 new applicants were added to the SSO list during the three months that largely (91%) included the primary insured.
