All Welcome!

People in power in Ireland have abandoned those under 35.

There are 20% less people in their 20′s in the country in the last 4 years. In the same period the general population has actually risen.

Unemployment has gone from 4% to nearly 15%. The data I have found is showing that the burden has fallen almost solely on the 15-35 year olds. The % of people working in the 50+ age group has has barely fallen at all.

In a recent poverty risk report people 18-30 are over 3 times more likely to be in the high risk of poverty catagory as those in the 61+ age group.

This talk looks at the the major differences between here and the UK who have similar problems but the scale here is much more stark. I was genuinely dumbstuck by the speed and veracity of the age discrimination grip since the crisis began. This is the untold story of the financial crises.

Is this uniquely Irish ageist protectionism the main reason behind Irelands emigration epidemic?
