The Rating of Production Potentials and Job Creating in Iranʹs Economy

Creating new opportunities and utilizing the existing production potentials are the main determinants of demand for labor. In Iranʹs economy, limitations of markets, excess capacities in some of industries are prevalent. Increases in final demand and capital formations reflect the roles of domestic, demand and net export on output and thereby, creation of job opportunities. Making use of 10 sectors input-output table (2001) of Iran, this paper ranks the output and employment capacities of Iranʹs economy. Our developed indicators consist of, backward and forward linkages, and elasticityʹs of input-output table. Findings indicate that, since in all of sectors, employment elasticityʹs are less than output elasticityʹs, growth oriented policies necessarily are not employment creator. Among the sectors of the economy, industry, Agricultural and construction, are identified as key factors for job opportunities.
