Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil, the Chaldean Catholic Church, emphasized that the future of Christians in Iraq largely depends on providing job opportunities and economic stability alongside security. The goal is to empower young people to build their future and remain in their homeland instead of fleeing. He clarified that sustaining the Christian presence requires investments in human potential and the implementation of vocational training programs, as declining numbers increase the fragility of Christian communities and subject them to growing economic pressures. He also pointed out that the Iraqi economy, heavily reliant on oil, suffers from weak private sector employment, with an unemployment rate of 15.5%, and a youth population that makes up 29% of the total. These factors deepen the economic challenges faced by Christians in maintaining their presence. Warda called for enhanced vocational training and increased investments to create sustainable job opportunities, emphasizing that preserving the Christian community requires supporting the economy alongside improving education and providing genuine economic alternatives that ensure stability and continued existence.
