Another classic salar.
...which stands more often than not for spot on.
I will answer it for you (again)
Yes, I'm a believer.
You're actually going off topic in regard to the post of mine you quoted.
I was addressing the twin notion that Iran's fertility rate isn't as low as 1,7 and that the SCI stopped publishing relevant statistics. I effectively disproved these two claims. If you wish to add something on this matter, you'll be welcome to do so.
Now on to your comments.
I've posted good examples of both healthy female participation and better than average fertility rates.Answers for your problems lies somewhere else find and fix those issues.
As said, fertility rate is not merely a factor of female enrollment on the labor market. A whole range of elements impact fertility.
Countries where both fertility and the percentage of working females are higher than in Iran, would likely have an even more dynamic demography if their female workforce had been of smaller proportions.
Now if, as with Iran, your fertility rate has been stagnating for several years in a row below critical generational replacement level, leading to sustained demographic ageing, then a higher percentage of working females won't achieve anything in this regard but to compound the issue and make any correction to the demographic decline more unrealistic than it already is.
Demographic recession is an existential threat to a nation's survival. Conformity of gender roles to tried and tested, millennia-old tradition isn't.
Evil capitalists and westerners ?
China, Vietnam, North Korea and ... have higher female participation rates.
Firstly, apart from Korea the mentioned countries' economies are market-based. Also, socialist / "communist" regimes had their own materialist reasons for to implement the fallacious concept of "female emancipation". Are we to succumb to materialism, the common trait between capitalism and secular socialism? Islam and materialism are antinomic. One of the Islamic Revolution's slogans in 1979 was "neither East nor West, Islamic Republic" for a reason.
Secondly, China's fertility rate in 2020 amounted to 1,28. Not exactly a role model for Iran to emulate in this particular area. As for Vietnam, its fertility rate stood at 1,96 in 2020 (down from 6,10 in 1973) - that too is below the 2,1 threshold for generational renewal.
Thirdly, Korea happens to be practicing a slightly more draconian form of governance compared to Islamic Iran. If Iran was ruled like Korea then she could possibly maintain fertility rates above 2,1 all the while of increasing female labor. However, I believe it's safe to consider that you would probably be among those crying foul if Iran adopted Korean-style methods.
The global labor force participation rate for women is just over 50% compared to 80% for men.
You need more than 3 times of current women participation in order to reach world's average.
World averages ought to be the yardstick for Iran? That would remind me of the 'normalization' agenda which western-submissive liberals and the globalist oligarchy hope to impose on Iran. Agenda whose goal it is to dissolve nations into a universal world republic, and do away with traditional, historically rooted religions by replacing them with Noahidism.
but it's much easier to do the planing for more babies in families (10-20 percent increase will solve all of the problems )
but 10% more birthrates would be an easy job.
Fixing the demographic evolution is most definitely not a simple task by any conceivable means. The exact opposite is the case.
As a matter of fact, no nation affected by significant demographic decline in the contemporary era has managed to reverse the trend other than through mass immigration. Not a single one.
Even when they're called south Korea a.k.a purported economic powerhouse, and have in excess of 200 billion USD (!) to spend on trying. In vain.

In other terms, redressing demographic slump is one of the most hopeless challenges there is.
Empirical findings suggest that under present time conditions, demographic downturn will be definitive once generational replacement has ceased for a certain number of years.
And by the way, for generational renewal to be ensured the fertility rate must reach 2,1 at a minimum. This means that Iran's 1,74 in 1400 would need to be boosted by over 20%. This certainly does not translate into a birth rate increase of merely 10%.
In order to reach 50 female participation from current 14 you need to shake hell and heaven
Thank God if true.
I'm not a betting guy and I will bet you some of these "religious guys" and decision makers inside Iran are in payroll line of foreign countries.
As it happens reformists and moderates have shown to be in line with the agenda of foreign powers, hostile ones to boot. If by "religious guys" it's those people you're referring to, your statement would have a certain probability of being correct.
