The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan American think tank which is based in Washington, D.C. It provides information on social issues, public opinion, and demographic trends shaping the United States and the world. It also conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, media content analysis, and other empirical social science research. Pew Research Center does not take explicit policy positions, and is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts.
In 2004, The Pew Charitable Trusts established the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. with Andrew Kohut as its first president. In 2013, Kohut stepped down and became founding director, and Alan Murray became the second president of the center. In October 2014, Michael Dimock, a 14-year veteran of the Pew Research Center, was named president.
The Pew Research Center is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization and a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary founder.
The Center's research is divided into seven areas.
A research center is a facility or building dedicated to research, commonly with the focus on a specific area. There are over 14,000 research centers in the United States. Centers apply varied disciplines including basic research and applied research in addition to non traditional techniques.

The latest edition of the Pew Research Center's quadrennial survey (http://pewrsr.ch/ICEEDU) finds that for the first time in nearly 40 years a majority of the American public says the United States plays a less important and powerful role as a world leader than it did a decade ago. This short video looks at this and other findings from the survey.

While the U.S. is still an overwhelmingly Christian country, since 2007 there has been a notable drop in the number of Americans who call themselves such, and the number of people who don’t identify as any religion has risen dramatically. Jeffrey Brown talks to Alan Cooperman of the Pew Research Center, which conducted the latest survey, and Rev. Serene Jones of the Union Theological Seminary.

The hourly pay gap between women and men has narrowed to 16 cents today, compared with 36 cents in 1980. But progress has slowed in recent years and even reversed for many women over the course of their careers. Today's youngest group of working women are the first in modern history to start their working lives at near parity with men. But will they stay this close in the years to come? That remains to be seen. In this video, we take a closer look at the nuances behind the pay gap -- including why it has narrowed but persisted over time -- and examine in new detail how different groups of young women entering the workforce since the 1980s have fared.

Is the American public becoming less religious? Yes, at least by some key measures of what it means to be a religious person. An extensive new survey of more than 35,000 U.S. adults finds that the percentages who say they believe in God, pray daily and regularly go to church or other religious services all have declined modestly in recent years. But there is also a great deal of stability in the U.S. religious landscape. Religiously affiliated Americans are as observant as they were a few years ago, and in some ways even more devout.

The Pew Research Center’s new demographic projections– the first formal forecasts using data on age, fertility, mortality, migration and religious switching for the world’s eight major religious groups – finds that the religious profile of the world is rapidly changing. What can we predict about the effects of an increasingly religious planet? Will these projections lead to an increase in religious conflict, especially in the Middle East, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa? Can we expect that nationalism rooted in religious identity will grow, especially in India and Europe? A panel of experts will tackle these questions – and many more – raised by the center’s new projections of the world’s changing religious composition.

Can Israel be a Jewish and a democratic state? How much discrimination is there in Israeli society? Do Jews and Arabs socialize with each other? How important are a secular education and successful career to Jewish and Arab individuals? These are some of the issues explored in a Pew Research Center survey administered in 5,601 face-to-face interviews in Israel between Oct. 14 2014 and May 21, 2015. Survey findings—including 48% of Jews agreeing that "Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel," 76% saying Israel can be a Jewish and democratic state, while 64% of Arabs saying it cannot—continue to make waves. At the same time, responses also show Jews and Arabs value the same life goals and aspirations. On Tuesday, June 28 to hear from Alan Cooperman, Director of Religion Researc...
