A social work study on job placement and dropout


Mohammad Reza Iravani and Zeynab Razi


For many decades, women were discriminated against men for paying less in equal job positions. Most high-level positions were assigned among men and women were considered in lower social position. However, during the past few decades, there have been tremendous efforts to provide equal job opportunity among people with different gender and race in various countries. The proposed study of this paper attempt to investigate women's position in terms of two aspects of economic and education for the people who live in a city of Esfahan, Iran. We design a questionnaire and distribute among 880 people who are randomly chosen from a population of 441782 residence. The result of our survey confirms that Iranian women are placed well and job placement of the Iranian women is low. The second part of our survey concludes that Iranian women were quite forward and there will be definite reasons for drop out.
