Poverty, Income Inequality and Living Standards in Ireland
On the 5th of September, we will publish the fourth annual report from the Community Foundation Ireland-funded ESRI research programme on poverty, income inequality and living standards in Ireland.
The report analyses how the pandemic and cost of living crisis have influenced levels of poverty and inequality across different sections of the population. This year’s report also focuses on life-satisfaction, civic participation and social contact and considers how these are shaped by poverty and whether this has changed post-pandemic.
