“The percentage of people reporting their general health status as either very good or good decreased from 87 per cent in 2016 to 83 per cent in 2022. The exception was among over-75s, who reported a small increase in people reporting very good health.”Here’s a view over time of the economic status of the population by data and design whizz Paul Scott, illustrating the growth in retirees and the decline in numbers who work in the home.
Four out of five “business, media and public service professionals” said they spent at least part of their working week at home with the figures for research and tech professionals not far behind at 78 per cent. The number of unpaid carers increased by 53 per cent, to almost 300,000 last year. Almost 87,000 of these were providing at least 43 hours of care a week, up 111 per cent on the last census.
There were 18,566 people on Census night who indicated that their country of citizenship was Ukraine. Though there were many more from Ukraine in Ireland a high number indicated Ireland was not their ‘usual residence’ so they were not included in these figures. The number of women staying at home full-time to look after the household or family was 245,000, down by 40,000 on the corresponding figure for 2016. The number of men doing so, though far lower, was up by a third to 27,500.
The number of people with dual Irish citizenship was 170,597. This is 3 per cent of the usually resident population.And this has landed from Health Editor Paul Cullen Renters’ average rent increased by 37 per cent in the six years to 2022, to an average of €272.91 per week, compared with a 14 per cent increase paid by those renting from local authorities, whose rent averaged €77.92 per week.
