The right to enjoy minimum standards of living, including access to basic and essential health care, food, clothing, housing, and social services, is one of the fundamental and inherent rights of every human being. This right is emphasized and highlighted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25). According to this article, “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.” It is clear that this right, which is essentially a guarantee of human life and dignity, is more than just a social concept; it is based on the economic aspect of human rights and includes the right of individuals to have equal access to economic resources in society. Based on this right, which is now emphasized and highlighted in the laws of almost all countries, governments are obliged to provide social and economic conditions for their citizens to have equal opportunities, including access to decent employment and sources of income

The right to benefit from minimum living facilities in the laws of Iran.
The right to access minimum standards and living facilities through access to economic resources and employment has been emphasized multiple times in the internal laws of Iran, similar to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The main emphasis of this right is in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic, where according to Article 43, “providing for basic needs such as housing, food, clothing, health, medical care, and education” is recognized as one of the economic regulations in the system of the Islamic Republic.
This same principle is further emphasized in its second and third paragraphs, specifically stating that “providing conditions and opportunities for work for all… in a way that every individual, in addition to their occupational efforts, has the opportunity and ability for spiritual, political, and social self-development and active participation in the leadership of the country, as well as increasing skills and initiative,” should be prioritized.
In addition to the Constitution, the Charter of Citizens’ Rights of President Hassan Rouhani in 1395 also

A delusion called “minimum wage for workers”

The second clause of Article 35 of the Labor Law in Iran has tasked the Ministry of Labor with determining the minimum wage for workers and other employed individuals covered by the Labor Law. According to this clause, the minimum wage for workers is determined by the High Council of Labor and approved by the relevant minister. In this regard, according to Article 41 of the same law, the High Council of Labor is obligated to determine the minimum wage for workers every year based on “the inflation rate announced by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran” in a way that covers the expenses of “an average family’s cost of living as declared by official sources.” It is clear that according to this law, the minimum wage set for workers by the High Council of Labor must first and foremost be in line with the inflation rate in society and be determined based on its increase; and secondly, it must cover the minimum expenses of an average family, which in Iran is usually a family of four,

Central Bank Inflation Rate; A figure that does not have any external existence.

It seems that one of the factors that is effective in creating this deep income gap is the inflation rate, which the Supreme Labor Council is obliged to determine the minimum wage ceiling based on; a rate that is far from the economic realities of Iranian society.
The obligation of the Supreme Labor Council to follow the announced inflation rate by the Central Bank to determine the minimum wage for workers comes at a time when the Central Bank of Iran itself has not provided any official inflation rate for almost a year, and the last rate announced by this institution dates back to November of last year.
In this regard, the Central Bank itself had announced in December 2018 that it will no longer publish the inflation rate publicly and its goal is to “minimize statistical discrepancies.” These discrepancies were highlighted in a research report by the Parliament Research Center in April of this year. For example, according to the results of this research, the prices of some essential items in the household basket, such as chicken and meat, have increased by
