Abstract

Abstract
This study provides an overview of the social welfare policies of Martyr Raisi's government, highlighting the opportunities and challenges for improving these policies. The primary focus of this research is to examine the welfare policies of the 13th government in addressing poverty reduction, inequality, and the enhancement of living standards. Employing a documentary analysis approach, the study reviews high-level policy documents and evaluates government performance reports. The findings reveal that Martyr Raisi's government has undertaken diverse measures in areas such as job creation, insurance and social security, subsidy distribution, and support for vulnerable groups to enhance social welfare. However, challenges such as economic difficulties, sanctions, complex bureaucratic structures, and regional inequalities continue to hinder the full realization of welfare goals. By summarizing the achievements and challenges of the government's welfare policies, this research aims to provide a foundation for future policymaking in this field.
