Abstract:
Discussionof the economic situation of Northern Ireland has been dominated by persistently high rates of unemployment. Since 1936 these rates have been higher than in any other region of the United Kingdom. Since the war unemployment rates have not fallen below 5 per cent, local area rates have been as high as 20 per cent and long-term unemployment has accounted for over 50 per cent of registered unemployment in a number of areas. Unemployment figures of over 7 per cent in 1971 and over 9 per cent in 1972 are inflated by extraordinary national and regional economic circumstances. However, they clearly reflect an adverse underlying situation.
