The poverty line in Iran has reached 12 million tomans.
A few months ago, the Social Security Organization reported that at least 30% of Iran’s population now lives below the poverty line. Unofficial statistics suggest that this portion of Iran’s population reaches 50% of the total population, which is approximately 42 million Iranians.
According to unofficial studies, the poverty line in Iran has reached 12 million tomans. This poverty line is something that workers are increasingly distancing themselves from, having to live with a maximum income of 4 million tomans.
Emanollah Gharaei Moghadam, a sociologist, also stated in this regard that unfortunately, people’s livelihoods in our society are at risk today. The per capita meat consumption for each Iranian is 3 kilograms, and a young person can consume less than 10 grams of meat in a day. Consequently, the primary factor contributing to violence and creating a tense atmosphere in society is the economy, but it is not the only factor. Other factors such as unfair treatment, restrictions, and deprivations also influence the creation of such an environment.
