Iran Suffers From Demographic Imbalance: Social Researcher

The suburban population in Iran is about 14 million, according to Ardeshir Geravand, a social researcher.
Noting that 50% of the residents of metropolises have elsewhere as their home city, he said this share reaches 62% in Tehran.
“Thirty percent of households don’t have an employed member as of the current [Iranian] year [started March 21]. Before the Islamic Revolution, the number of jobholders in the industrial sector accounted for 33% of the country’s population but today we have yet to achieve that level,” he was quoted as saying by ILNA.
