Afghan migrants can be an opportunity for the country’s labor market.
Legal Afghan migrants can be an opportunity for the country’s labor market because many of the jobs desired by migrants, such as security and construction work, are not in high demand by Iranian workers.
We need to turn this threat into an opportunity with the right policies regarding legal migrants.
The situation is different for illegal migrants as they have no recognition in the Iranian labor market and are considered a threat. They have comprehensive negative effects on the country.
Based on this, the President emphasized the need to address the issue of migrants through a specific and accountable institution called the Migrants Organization.
