Abstract :

Today, women's participation in the expansion of social and economic activities has increased significantly, but the income gap between men and women in the labor market is one of the most important discriminations that has been accompanied by increasing women's participation in the labor market in recent years; therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the prohibition of gender discrimination in women's employment in Iranian law from a statistical point of view. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and survey in terms of type. The statistical population of the study consists of all women in the 14th district of Tehran. The statistical sample was determined using the Cochran's formula of 384 people. The results showed that the level of attention of politicians and influential people in the legislature to the status and rights of women, including freedom of labor and their right to employment in development programs, is low and gender discrimination in access to opportunities is one of the barriers to wom­e­n'­s freedom and employment.
