2021CorrelationExpected causationRuling No. 2325 of the General Board of the Administrative Court of Justice [...] the Presidential [Office], on the Determination of the Minimum Wage for Workers
This ruling by the General Board of the Administrative Court of Justice addresses a resolution setting the minimum wage for workers.
Why this link: As the binding wage floor for the large formal wage-and-salary workforce, the minimum-wage decree and its judicial oversight bear directly on real wages, household welfare, and measured poverty and inequality among wage earners.
Caveat: Minimum-wage compliance is uneven across Iran's large informal sector, and poverty/inequality outcomes are driven by many factors beyond the wage floor, including inflation, subsidies, and sanctions.
Lag: Welfare effects typically materialize within the same fiscal year as the decree.
