In the twelfth paragraph of Overall employment policies, issued by the supreme leader of Iran, the "reduction of the provincial unemployment in the provinces which have the rates above the national average" has been argued as a general policy. This subject can be interpreted in terms of gender point of view into two parts, the proximity of females and males unemployment rates in the provinces to the average unemployment rate of the country. While the theoretical foundations and available studies have indicated a significant relationship between provincial labor market development and social harms but, the results of these studies are different. Therefore, this research attempts to explore the interaction between the labor market and social harms in terms of gender in the provinces of Iran. The labor market development in this study is estimated with female employment indicators and integrated by using TOPSIS method. Also social harms of the provinces are measured by using the divorce rates. Using panel data method, the results of this research suggest that there is a significant and negative relationship between the females’ labor market development and divorce rates. In other words, the divorce rates have reduced by the females’ labor market development. From the policy point of view, this finding recommends the possibility of modifying the social harm by an economic decision.
