How Iranians spend their day compared to the Americans - Iranian time use survey

IranPoll.com is the exclusive provider of Iranian's cross-sectional time use survey. This in-depth survey has been fielded 3 times since 2010, and it will be repeated in 2015 again.

We offer a comparison between how Iranians spend their day with how Americans spend their day. The American time use data comes from US census, while the visualization is from the New York Times website.

IranPoll.com plans on analyzing our data in further details in future blog posts. At this stage, it is worth noting the difference between "Work" hours between Iranian and Americans around noon time when Iranians tend to take a long break for lunch and sleep.

Iranian Public Opinion on the Nuclear Negotiations

As negotiators from Iran and the P5+1 draw up a final agreement regarding Iran’s nuclear program prior to the June 30 deadline, a number of key questions remain unanswered: Will the Iranian public support a final agreement within the outlines provided by the framework of understandings negotiated earlier this year? What expectations does the Iranian public have about the deal?

A new study of Iranian public opinion conducted by IranPoll.com, the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM), and the University of Tehran’s Center for Public Opinion Research in May 2015 explores Iranian public opinion on the nuclear negotiations.

Please join us for a presentation and discussion about the study’s findings in an event held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 - 09:30 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Root Room (2nd floor), 1779 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington, DC 20036.

Iranian Views on the Quality of Products from 10 Countries

As the negotiators from Iran and the P5+1 countries push for a final deal, many non-Iranian producers of consumer goods are pondering whether or not they should enter into Iran’s market if US and UNSC sanctions against Iran do get lifted. Among issues they often ponder and inquire about, is how well their brand is recognized and what kind of quality Iranians associated with products produced in various countries.

In its June 2015 CATI omnibus survey, IranPoll.com asked Iranians to rate the quality of products produced in ten countries. In short, while German and Japanese products are highly regarded, Iranians have very negative feelings toward Chinese goods:
