Expert comment on: “Plan to form the Ministry of Social Affairs, Family and Youth”

Life group: According to the Research Center of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the project “Formation of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Family and Youth” with registration number 625 on 24/7/1400 with the focus on the importance of the social sphere, its impact on the fate of society and at the same time the importance of the family and The assumption of the absence of a specific trustee for the social and family spheres has been announced.
The plan is to create a new ministry by merging the Welfare Organization, the Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, the Deputy Minister of Youth of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and the Social Affairs Organization of the Ministry of Interior; However, there is no clear argument for such an integration and its logic is not clear.

One of the most important reasons for rejecting the present plan can be legal considerations, including inconsistency with paragraph “10” of the general policies of the administrative system with the subject of streamlining, proportioning and rationalizing the organization of the administrative system to achieve the vision goals. The issue of saving the country’s public expenditures and contradicting Article 74 of the Constitution in the provisions of Note 2 was mentioned due to the government’s obligation to submit a bill. On the other hand, the provisions of Note 3 also have a financial burden and will be contrary to Article (75) of the Constitution.
The formation of the new structure will not necessarily eliminate the possible shortcomings of the previous structures, but will extend its functional problems from the scale of one institution to several additional institutions.

When it comes to the pathology of the current situation of an issue in the country, one of the mentioned harms is the lack of a single trustee in that issue; At the same time, there has almost never been a strong argument for the problematic lack of a single trustee in dealing with a governance issue.

Transformation in the executive apparatus is one of the most complex and sensitive measures in the administrative system and public sector administration. The results of this report show that the structural changes related to this area are so large and large that the government necessarily needs major surgery in the administrative structure of the country to reform the structure. If, after careful expert studies, the need for a new executive structure becomes clear, the exact logic of the mergers, the separation of areas, the job description, and all the principles should be considered. Finally, the proposal to reject generalities has been proposed.
