Webinar: Poverty, income inequality and living standards in Ireland: 2nd annual report

On Friday 28 October 2022, the ESRI will launch and publish the second report from a research programme funded by The Community Foundation for Ireland which seeks to address gaps in our knowledge and understanding of poverty, income inequality and living standards in Ireland.

This publication will build on 2021’s report which found that while Ireland had experienced strong and progressive – if volatile – income growth over the past three decades (leaving income inequality in 2019 at its lowest recorded level), levels of income poverty and material deprivation have remained consistently high for certain groups (notably lone parents and those in working-age households where no one is in paid work).
