The present article is the result of an exploratory and field operation study which has been done in Iran in the form of a research titled ‘A Comparative Study of Socio-economic and demographic issues in Iran and Tajikistan’. In this research, using some resources, documents and preliminary interviews, we created a credible list of economic issues of Iran and Tajikistan (34 Economic Issues in Iran and 38 Economic Issues in Tajikistan). We shared this list with 50 experts in the field of humanities from Iran and 48 experts from Tajikistan in order to identify the most important economic issues of the countries. Finally, twelve issues, as the most important issues of the two countries, were selected to form a questionnaire by means of which 400 people from Iran and Tajikistan were interviewed.
