Abstract: (187 Views)
Those who are affected by the negative effects of economic decisions, are often those who have the least power and ability to influence it. According to the latest report of the Majlis (Parliament) Research Center in Iran, the percentage of the population below the absolute poverty line in the year 2021 was %30/4, While the two issues of poverty and the lack of participation of citizens in the economy are distinct, many believe that economic deprivation continues with the inability to access, influence and interact with the economy. In this article, which has been done in an analytical-descriptive method and using library resources, the authors have come to the conclusion that the democratization of the economy is one of the ways out of the vicious cycle of continuing poverty, and for this purpose, the formation of citizen economic councils and their objectification within the framework of the law can be effective. The formation of these councils can lead to strengthening the ability of citizens to influence national and local economic policies and strengthen the legitimacy and validity of economic policies. In order to make the activity of these councils efficient, it is necessary to have resources for empowering the councils, such as granting them political and legal rights, allocating budget and providing the social capacity needed to create broader consultative networks.
