Iraqi government to add hundreds of thousands of new positions in 2020 budget
Iraq, November 13, 2019
SULAIMANI — The Council of Representatives' Labor and Social Affairs Committee said on Monday (November 11) that the federal government is developing plans to hire for 239,000 new positions as a part of the 2020 federal budget.
Lawmaker Fazil Jabr said that those jobs will be distributed across all government departments with the Central Services Council managing and coordinating the process for ministries and governorates.
The federal government has largely halted hiring for new positions since 2014, Jabr said. He also noted that recently passed legislation lowering the retirement age would help to create additional vacancies within the departments.
The plan is in response to weeks of deadly street protests, with a major demand being that the government increase job opportunities, especially for young people. So far, reform proposals have done little to placate the demands of protesters.
However, Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi is facing a countervailing pressure to reduce the government's debt burden, which he has also promised to do.
Enabled by hydrocarbon revenue, the public sector is the largest formal employer in Iraq. Many critics have already called on Baghdad to reduce the size of government and instead invest in growing the private sector.

Renewed protests in Iraq ... and a parliamentary session to discuss the repercussions
Wednesday, November 16, 2019
Some of the demonstrations in Iraq yesterday (AP)
Baghdad: «Middle East Online»
Protest demonstrations in Baghdad and a number of Iraqi provinces renewed on Wednesday, for the 20th day in a row, calling for the dismissal of the government, dissolution of parliament and amendment of the Iraqi constitution.
In the early morning hours, tens of thousands of school, college and college students joined demonstrations in Baghdad and nine southern provinces, after the Teachers 'Union and other federal unions announced they would join demonstrations in support of protesters' demands.
The Iraqi parliament announced that it will hold a session today to discuss the repercussions of the demonstrations, in addition to hosting the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Jenin Hennes Blaskhart.
Continued demonstrations come amid tight security and the deployment of additional forces in the streets and squares and in front of government buildings, banks and schools, in anticipation of further violence.
After decades of war and sanctions, the government failed to meet the demands of young protesters, most of whom did not find a job or feel their living conditions improved even in peacetime.
The unrest is the biggest and most complex challenge for the Iraqi political system since the government declared victory over IS two years ago.

Iraq's protesters cling to the dismissal of the government and parliament with a UN effort to resolve the crisis
Wednesday 13 November 2019 - 02:00
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Thousands of Iraqis flocked to Tahrir Square and demonstration yards in a number of provinces on Saturday, chanting slogans demanding the overthrow of the government, dissolving parliament and amending the constitution as the United Nations seeks to be the godmother of a solution to the crisis.
The participants chanted slogans demanding the release of activists and bloggers who were kidnapped by unknown parties.

There was calm yesterday morning demonstrations in Baghdad and a number of Iraqi provinces after the assurances obtained by the demonstrators to support the religious authority of their demands and stop using violence against peaceful demonstrators and stop arrests and kidnapping.
