Abstract

Recent research about labor market in Islamic Republic of Iran has shown that there are many problems in employment policies. High unemployment rate, regional and political passivity of women and lack of communication between labor market and education system are some characteristics of Iranian society that effect on employment. Relationship between employment and human capital shows a paradox in current education system and favorable conditions. Research in this field indicates that in general there has been a lack of coordination between goals and objectives of reproduction and effective use of human capital. Quality of education as an important element of human capital has not been given proper attention according to the requirements of the labor market.
