A labor activist: The imbalance of supply and demand in the housing market is causing the housing market to collapse. If construction booms and construction projects succeed, there will be job creation for unemployed youth and lower house prices.

According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Rahmatollah Pourmousi stated: "Considering the economic conditions and fluctuations of many domestic markets, including housing, there is no choice but to adopt temporary solutions and housing to provide housing for the weak and vulnerable sections of society." We do not have special workers.

Anticipate temporary solutions to solve the housing problem

He continued: "Currently, various plans have been envisaged by the government and parliament to solve the housing problem and workers become homeowners, and to allocate mortgage loans, build workers' housing in industrial estates and set rent ceilings, including plans for The staggering reduction in housing costs has been in the livelihood basket of working families.

Workers are caught with mortgages

Regarding the allocation of mortgage loans, the labor activist said: "These loans are not Qarz al-Hasna and the installments have to be paid, but the workers' income is not such that they can pay the loan installments." Of course, the amount of loans varies in big cities and towns, but workers get into debt with these loans and are deprived of providing for their families.

Emphasis on building affordable housing for workers

"We should look for affordable housing for workers and activate the housing sector," he said. If construction projects and construction activities flourish, hundreds of jobs related to this sector will be activated, and jobs will be created for unemployed youth, and housing prices will fall.

Imbalance of supply and demand in the housing market

According to this labor activist, the imbalance of supply and demand in the housing market has led to the disruption of the housing market and the boom in construction and the mobility of the housing sector, preventing rising prices and rents and restoring balance to the housing market.

According to ISNA, following the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development and the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare in January last year, the construction of housing units for workers and retirees is on the agenda and has entered the implementation phase.
