Abstract

An endemically high rate of unemployment has always been one of the most pressing problems facing policy-makers in Ireland. Since 1980 the unemployment rate has risen inexorably, as illustrated in Figure 14.1. Furthermore, on the basis of the most recent medium-term projections to 1990 (Bacon, 1986) the unemployment rate is set to continue to rise, albeit at a much slower rate, to over 18 per cent of the labour force. This more recent rise in unemployment is, of course, a phenomenon not confined to Ireland, but shared, in one form or another, by many other European economies.
