Iran: Reasons for Employees Quitting Jobs

The Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare surveyed 1.9 million unemployed, from the nearly 3.3 million unemployed in the last fiscal year (2018-19), who held a job for 10 years and more, but became jobless in the past five years. 
The ministry’s Statistics and Strategic Data Center, using data provided by the Statistical Center of Iran, declared that 22.6% of the employed left their jobs last year because of the temporary nature of their work, 16.8% due to low pay and 16.6% over layoffs or downsizing. 
The same three factors were to blame widely for Iranian workers quitting or losing their jobs in the year before, i.e. the fiscal 2017-18 with 25%, 16.3% and 14% shares respectively. 
Other reasons behind people leaving their jobs last year include the permanent closure of the workplace (7.7%), seasonal nature of the job (5.1%), family issues (2.6%), illness (1.8%), relocation (0.6%), education (0.4%), migration (0.4%) and retirement (0.3%).
