"The purpose of this report is to contribute to a deeper understanding of Iranian youth as a whole, rather than focus on one particular segment. Specifically, this report aims to address the following questions: 1) What are the key values that underlie the attitudes and behaviour of Iranian youth and how do these vary between different segments of the youth? (2) What do young men and women in Iran prioritise in their lives and what are their key concerns for the future? (3) How do Iranian youth perceive the current social and political situation in Iran? What are their views on protection of human rights, freedom of expression and their own political efficacy? Which state institution do they find most trustworthy and to what extent do they feel that Iran needs to change? (4) What are the media and communication preferences of young Iranians? What role do traditional media play in their informationgathering processes and how important are the internet, social media and mobile phones?" (Executive summary)
