Abstract: This study tries to evaluate the execution of article 56 of Iran’s Third Development Plan Act as far as it is related to self-employment in Golestan Province. Self-employment loans of Golestan Province were paid by the province’s Labor and Social Affairs Organization (LSAO) and Employment Opportunities Support Fund (EPSF) within 2003-2004. The results of binomial test indicate that LSAO self-employment loans did not lead to expected employment, though EPSF loans fulfilled the expectations. The percentage of successful loans of EPSF outnumbered those of LSAO. Moreover, there is a positive and significant correlation between the number of self-employment loans paid and employments created in Golestan Province’s cities.
