CSO report provides a snapshot of the State across a range of metrics and how it compares to other European countries
Male life expectancy at birth was 80.8 years in Ireland in 2020, the highest of any EU member state, and 3.3 years higher than the EU average, and an increase of 22.2 years on the 1926 figure.
The report also noted that Ireland had a fertility rate of 1.8 in 2021, which tied with France, the Czech Republic and Romania as the highest rate in the EU27. In 2011 prices in Ireland were the fifth highest in the EU27 at 21.2 per cent above average but the CSO noted that price levels in Ireland relative to the EU27 average have “increased each year since then”.
