The post features a satirical cartoon by Iranian artist Hossein Kazem, depicting a graduation cap as a spilling coffee cup on job advertisements, punning "دانشجو" (student) with "کارجو" (job seeker) to highlight post-graduation employment struggles on Iran's Student Day.
Student Day, observed on December 7 (16 Azar), commemorates the 1953 killing of three Tehran University students protesting the Shah's regime, evolving into a symbol of youth activism and demands for justice, often marked by demonstrations.
Iran's youth unemployment exceeds 25% in 2025, with rates nearing 35% for young women and over 40% for university graduates, per World Bank and local reports, underscoring the cartoon's critique of economic barriers facing educated youth.
