Poverty, Income Inequality and Living Standards in Ireland

Register Here

On 9 September, we will publish the fifth annual report from our partnership with Community Foundation Ireland on poverty, income inequality and living standards in Ireland.

The report assesses recent changes in patterns of income growth and inequality. In addition to analysing trends in income poverty and deprivation, it explores alternative measures of poverty based on expenditure rather than income.

This year’s report also explores the link between childhood poverty and adult outcomes including poverty, material deprivation, and health.
