Demographic Crisis in Iran: Plummeting Marriage and Birth Rates Despite Government Grants
According to reports distributed on Telegram channels اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله, خبر فوری جنگ ایران and آخرین خبر, official data in Iran for the years 1400–1404 indicates a sharp downward trend in demographic figures, despite government policies to increase marriage and childbirth loans.
According to data published by اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, the number of marriages in the country dropped from 528,000 in 1401 to 431,000 in 1404. At the same time, birth data showed an equally alarming trend, as this is the second consecutive year that the number of births has fallen below one million, with only 892,000 births in 1404.
Surveys indicate that 77.7% of couples in Iran are not interested in having children. The main factors cited in the report by اخبارفوری are "concern for the children's future, lack of sufficient income, and inadequate housing."
Experts cited in these sources emphasize that financial incentives alone do not constitute a solution to the root problem. According to them, the public needs "economic stability and hope for the future." It should be noted that the sources covering this issue tend to deal with internal social and security issues, sometimes with implicit criticism of the current government's policy.
