The minister of industry, mine and trade says that a quicker exit from recession will be possible if the younger generation contributes to economic growth. “We have a large population of youths entering the labor force every year, so we can expect them to help with increasing production growth and economic recovery,” Mohammadreza Nematzadeh said, while inaugurating a steel plant in Zarandiyeh, Markazi Province. Nematzadeh said that the industrial sector has registered 10 percent growth in the first quarter of this year (March 21-June 22) compared to the same period last year.
