TNS Global website
Recognising the unique requirements of research in this sector, TNS established a specialised division for Political and Social research which has become the leading provider of such research in many countries.
TNS is a world leading provider of customised political, social and economic research services. We cover elections and are delivering insight to assist decision-makers in a wide range of social policy issues - education, health, social services, environment, employment, parenting and child protection, public transport, justice, immigration and community integration.
Our clients include public sector and government bodies, political parties, media, non-governmental organisations, major international and national institutions, including universities and scientific establishments.
We conduct millions of interviews every year to help clients understand how the public is thinking or reacting to major issues on a national or international scale. We provide insight on major trends, such as how the public is feeling about its elected leaders, and predict the likely outcomes of up and coming elections.
We also use qualitative research techniques to understand how people really feel about government policies and programs. These may be broad policies directed at the general public or they may be specialised services that target narrowly-defined groups of constituents.
Our researchers are experts at working in sensitive policy areas and with marginalised target groups.
We also evaluate the impact of public programs and service initiatives. Using tried and tested evaluation models we provide accurate indicators of a program’s outcomes. We have evaluated the effectiveness of numerous programs and services, in a wide variety of policy areas and across many countries – programs implemented by governments as well as those sponsored by international aid organisations.
We have dedicated political and social researchers in offices across 80 countries.
Our extensive global reach ensures a seamless international response to clients’ global market information requirements in social and political research.
TNS Political & Social offers our clients a range of global branded insight services and solutions.
