Pre-1979: Adults who lived through the Shah's regime remember a time of opportunity, particularly for educated individuals, including women.
Post-Revolution: The Islamic Revolution brought significant societal changes, leading to mass emigration of skilled individuals and an extended period of war and upheaval. This loss of talent created a generational gap that has influenced societal and political stability.
With the emergence of a younger, disenfranchised generation since then, frustrations abound. The societal shifts and governmental failures stemming from this historical transition may likely lead to increased unrest, particularly as the youth become aware of their dire economic situation.
