The average age of female heads of households has decreased to 35, announced Fahimeh Piroozfar, director of the empowerment staff of the female heads of households in Tehran’s Municipality.
She said, “When we started our work, the average age of female heads of households was 50, but it has not dropped to between 35 and 40.” She said among the reasons for such decrease is increase in the rate of divorce among the families in Tehran.
