DEMOGRAPHICS

One key aspect of Pew Research Center’s agenda is the "exploration of key demographic trends, both domestically and internationally. From studies of the aging of the global population, to reports on the links between income and education levels or the growth of the world’s Muslim population, demographers and other analysts at the center play a key role in using data to answer important questions about society." The Center aims to "conduct objective, non-partisan research on a wide range of topics." 

The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan “fact tank” that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does not take positions on policy issues. The Pew Research Center is an independent subsidiary of the Pew Charitable Trusts.
