The Food Security Act Leaves A New Shock To The Graduates And The Unemployed
Posted On2022-08-10 By Sotaliraq Baghdad/ Saif Abdullah The law of emergency support for food security and development, which was recently enacted, revealed the large amount of unemployment in all Iraqi governorates, as the funds allocated by the law do not meet the actual need for job seekers.
On June 8, 2022, the Iraqi parliament voted on the law on emergency support for food security as a whole.
And the Parliament’s media department stated, “The law aims to achieve food security, reduce poverty, achieve financial stability in light of urgent global developments, continue to provide services to citizens and raise the standard of living for them after the budget law expires, creating job opportunities, maximizing Iraqis’ benefit from state resources, advancing development and resuming Work on stalled and lagging projects due to lack of funding and the progress of new projects of importance.”
The only solution to the problem of Iraq
In this regard, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Sajjad Salem, confirmed that “the job grades that came within the Food Security Law are 1,000 degrees for each governorate, and this number is insufficient and is not commensurate with unemployment and graduates.”
Salem said in an interview with Al-Mada, "The government should look into other areas, especially in the private sector, to provide job opportunities through the adoption of the Social Security Law for the private sector," expecting that this law "is the only solution to the problem of unemployment in Iraq."
He pointed out that "the numbers that applied for appointment within the thousand degrees, which reached forty thousand or more, reveal the size of unemployment in Iraq and the huge numbers that are actually tangible."
Notes On The Law
For his part, the economic expert Mahmoud al-Mashhadani explained that there are many observations in the Food Security Law in terms of paragraphs, including the issue of a thousand degrees for each governorate.
Al-Mashhadani said in an interview with (Al-Mada), that "Iraq needs large numbers of job grades to appoint graduates, and therefore these degrees are not sufficient in the first place."
Al-Mashhadani asked, “Why did the government approve a thousand degrees for each governorate? On what basis was it adopted? As the numbers and areas of each governorate differ from the other, not to mention the percentages of poverty and deprivation in some cities.”
Legal Objection
In addition, the legal expert, Adnan Al-Sharifi, considered that “the food security law is fundamentally contrary to the fact that Parliament cannot present bills for itself; Then he would vote on it. Rather, the first was to submit the government’s proposal to Parliament for a vote.”
Al-Sharifi said in an interview with Al-Mada, “It is forbidden for the caretaker government to invalidate bills,” noting that “Parliament has the right to legislate laws that do not entail financial obligations.” LINK

Reports Economy News – translation
A recent report issued by the United Nations Office for Coordination warned that the risk of migration between Iraqi governorates is increasing due to climate changes and the exacerbation of drought problems, indicating that some areas in southern Iraq may be subject to inundation due to the rise in the water level of the Arabian Gulf.
The report, titled "Migration, Environment and Climate Change in Iraq", translated by "Al-Iqtisad News", stated that "Basra, Maysan and Dhi Qar, the three governorates that make up southern Iraq, tend to record the largest number of internal displacement caused by water over the past decade, mainly due to water scarcity.
Pollution and soil salinity in some villages, especially in Dhi Qar, the residents of up to half of the houses migrated, and the lack of water led to the displacement of nearly 15,000 new displacement cases in Dhi Qar, Maysan and Basra in 2019 and in November, 2021 the International Organization for Migration recorded the displacement of 12 thousand and 348 A person from southern Iraq due to drought."
He added, "About 8% of families in Basra, 3% in Dhi Qar and 13% in Maysan, depend entirely on agriculture, livestock or fishing, and they do not have an alternative source of income such as working in the government or security forces, and these percentages are equivalent to approximately 75,000 people." ".
"The past five years witnessed, many families completely abandoned agricultural livelihoods, as 7% of all agricultural families gave up, including 4% in Basra, 12% in Dhi Dhakkar, 8% in Maysan, and 20% of families in southern Iraq abandoned agriculture after one of its members emigrated in the past five years (a much higher rate than non-farm families), while another 30% per cent indicated that they were considering emigrating. According to the report.
The report warned that "floods are another major danger in southern Iraq, as heavy rains have caused widespread flooding in Basra and Maysan, damaging or destroying homes and displacing entire communities in the affected areas."
And he warned that "the climate threat may lead to floods resulting from rising sea levels. By 2050, the areas in the far south of Iraq (mostly populated in Basra, but also Maysan and Dhi Qar) may be partially submerged as a result of rising sea waters. saline water to groundwater aquifers will further disrupt irrigation and agricultural activities, exert additional pressure on arable lands and cause the displacement of an entire community.
