Living and working in Ireland : A supplement to the Living and Working in Europe overview

According to the latest research findings, Ireland has much in common with the wealthier countries of the EU. Survey data from Eurofound give a detailed snapshot of how Irish people live, what their working conditions are like and whether they view their experiences positively or negatively. The profound and rapid transformation of Irish society and economy over the last 15 years, propelling the country from a position at the bottom of the league to the ranks of the more affluent countries of the EU15, is reflected in these data. This leaflet outlines some key findings from recent Eurofound survey data with particular reference to Ireland.
