Pathology of Poverty Reduction Policy in Iran; Emphasizing the Performance of the Islamic Council

Abstract

Poverty is a multi-dimensional social phenomenon that various factors are involved in its increase and decrease. On the other hand, poverty has different meanings and types, each of which has different effects, and they cannot all be reduced with one solution. Due to the multidimensional nature of poverty and the fact that various factors are involved in it, international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund recommend that a national Poverty Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers be developed to deal with it. Although in the Islamic Republic of Iran system, in the light of Islamic teachings and the requirements of the constitution, several measures have been taken in the field of poverty reduction, and even a document called the National Document on Poverty Reduction and Targeting of Subsidies has been approved by the Council of Ministers in 2014. Because of the problems that exist in this field, we still need to compile a national document by the Islamic Council. This research has been done with an analytical method based on comparative data and document study.
