Six charts that explain Iran protests

Thanks for sharing Sgt Wayne Wood the six charts that explain the Iranian protests.
[1] Yes, Economic growth has been constrained by sanctions. Iran's economy was badly affected for several years by sanctions imposed by the international community over the country's nuclear programme.
[2] Yes Inflation is high. Inflation has fluctuated greatly in Iran since the Islamic revolution in 1979. [The inflation rate seems to be cyclical which is not unexpected.]
[3] Yes Young people are struggling to find jobs. The official unemployment rate is 12.4%, but in some parts of the country it is more than 60%, according to Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani-Fazli. [Of course this chart seems somewhat biased since the age lower range is 15 which seems low.]
[4] Yes, Smartphone ownership in Iran is increasing. Smartphones have played an important role in the current protests.
[5] People are becoming poorer. A recent investigation by BBC Persian found that on average, Iranians have become 15% poorer in real terms over the past decade.
[6] People can't afford to buy as much food. The consumption of bread, milk and red meat in Iranian households had decreased by between 30% and 50% over the past 10 years, according to BBC Persian.
