Description:
There is broad recognition of the crucial role of employment in preventing poverty and in enabling poor households to move out of poverty (ILO, 2005; Caputo, 1991; OECD 1998, 2004). In this report we examine in detail the relationship between work and poverty in Ireland from 2004 to 2010 –a period of rapid economic change, spanning both strong growth and recession. Ireland is an interesting case because of the depth of the recession and because, even during the boom years of the early 2000s, the rate of joblessness at household level was very high by European standards. Throughout the report we focus on adults of working age (taken as age 18 to 59, following Eurostat conventions) and the children who depend on them.Corporate name:
