This commentary addresses Iran's gender policy. As a consequence of the declining fertility rate, the government has decided to eliminate the state’s family planning program and to narrow women’s educational opportunities at the highest levels. The author argues that while university curriculum restrictions and classroom segregation could keep more Iranian women in traditional and non-technical jobs, they could also exacerbate tensions between the educated classes and the regime, and help unite women across classes.
