Mohsen Bagheri, a representative in Iran’s Supreme Labour Council, has stated that Iranian workers are leaving for Afghanistan and Iraq in search of better wages.
He said that employers in Iran are struggling due to a shortage of workers, while many Iranians are seeking jobs abroad. He noted that most of these workers are looking for simple jobs in neighbouring countries.
Bagheri attributed this trend to Iran’s weak domestic labour market, which has forced workers to seek opportunities elsewhere.
According to Entekhab news agency, he also claimed that Afghan migrants in Iran are no longer taking on physically demanding jobs, such as working in mines. Instead, he alleged that many now occupy well-paid jobs in northern Tehran, replacing Iranian workers.
