Late Leader outlines social security policies

In April 2022, the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei outlined policies for materializing the goals of social security in line with the objectives of the Constitution.

The policies aim to improve social welfare, remove poverty, and support vulnerable strata of society, mainly the elderly, the disabled, and people without caretakers.

Reaching the goals entails an efficient, justice-based, and comprehensive administrative system consistent with Islamic-Iranian patterns and powered by public participation that will expand services to underprivileged people living in urban and rural areas.

Filling social gaps through reforming subsidy schemes, promoting job creation culture, removing barriers to public resource access for all, and providing fertility services to families aims to increase the population growth rate.

In his New Year message, Ayatollah Khamenei called on the government and the nation to work hard to boost knowledge-based production and create new jobs.

The Leader reemphasized the importance of boosting domestic production, as he had done in past years, saying the reason he placed so much emphasis on production was “because it boosts economic growth, it creates employment, it reduces inflation, it increases per capita income, and it improves public welfare.

Furthermore, it brings about psychological effects since it boosts national self-confidence and creates a sense of dignity in the nation.”
