Social Policy in Iran

This book provides in-depth analyses of the main social policy components and institutions in Iran. Its focus is on the period since 1979, although many of the developments are inevitably traced back to their pre-revolutionary origins. The first part of the book investigates socioeconomic trends and institutional developmentsincluding the significant role played by post-revolutionary para-governmental organizations in the delivery of social programs. The remaining chapters analyze the achievements and challenges of health, education, social insurance, housing, and employment policies, as well as the macroeconomics of poverty.

Pooya Alaedini is Associate Professor in the Department of Development and Social Policy, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tehran.
