Social Transfers and Poverty Alleviation in Ireland, 2004 - 2011
The report examines the role of social transfers in income redistribution and poverty alleviation in Ireland. The study covers the period 2004 to 2011, a time of rapid economic change, spanning both strong economic growth and deep recession. The report provides insights on why social transfers played a greater role in alleviating poverty and deprivation in Ireland. It assesses the impact of social transfers across different life cycle groups and benchmarks Ireland against other EU15 countries.
The research is an output of the Department of Social Protection / Economic and Social Research Institute research programme on monitoring poverty trends under the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion 2007-2016.
The findings were presented at a national conference in the ESRI on 11 December 2013.
