In Iran, Islamic government has decided to increase the population. it is planning to increase the population from 75 million to 150 million. One method for this aim is stopping sex education. Previously, sex education was only offered in universities. People who couldn’t get into universities, weren’t educated in this field at all because there is no other way and sex education is considered unethical. Abortion and Some methods for avoiding pregnancy (Vasectomy and Tubectomy) are also banned.
Governmental statics show that 3.5% of marriages involve children under age of 15. Uneducated children are subjects of moral and physical damage, they are still children and in need of caring but they have to take care of their own children.
This policy is being pursued while the young population is having serve problems. Education and health services are privatized and are very expansive. For example school fee for a single elementary student is equal to at least 3 months salary of an average worker. If someone is not able to afford that, his children will remain illiterate. Economical growth was -3.2% last year and -5.6% on the year before last. Unemployment is very high, according to governmental statics (which are usually “modified” because of states propaganda) its rate is 11% while minimum wage of workers is about 185 US dollars for a month. Illiteracy rate is 16% which means 12 million people haven’t completed their elementary education. The environment of country is in disastrous condition. Water crisis is getting more severe every year. Urumiye salt late is almost dried and can produce salt storms which destroy any vegetation.
Normally any person will think that the last thing this country needs is more population. So what is the purpose of government for increasing population while current population cannot achieve its basic needs?
It has been said that first king of Qajar Dynasty, Agha Muḥammad Khān Qājār, who was known for his brutality and ignoring people, made a suggestion to this successor: ”if you wish to continue your rule, make sure people will always remain hungry and illiterate.”
While in modern countries governments try to control their people by agreeing to minor reforms, Islamic state of Iran is moving in opposite direction. By using iron fist and reducing people to serfs, government has managed to silence every opposing voice. Worker, student and women activists have either been imprisoned, executed or fled the country. This turns country into a steam boiler which all of its exits have been blocked. It may look stable but it might explode any second.
