Population dynamics play a crucial role in shaping the socio-economic and political landscape of any country, and Iran is no exception. The importance of population dynamics in Iran cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts various aspects of the nation's development, including economic growth, resource management, social welfare, and political stability.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has a good level of capacity to collect and manage health, sociodemographic, and economic data. However, analysis and integration of such data and harmonization of civil registration and vital statistics with other sources offer scope for further strengthening. The usage of data for evidence-based programming and policy should be further promoted. As the country prepares for its next census in 2026, the modernization of statistical systems and the updating of census methodologies, including the use of administrative and register data, will be needed.
