A quick glance at the line-graph depicts data on the percentage of unemployed individuals in Ireland and the number of people who emigrated from the country over a period of two decades.
By and large, it is evident that the highest proportion of unemployment was recorded in 1988 compared to the number of emigrants in the same year, while there was the fewest number of migrants in 2008.
In terms of taking a look at the noteworthy data, the share of people without jobs declined from 16% to 13% in the first 2 years. Conversely, it experienced a slight increase to 15%. However, it didn’t last long and plunged, hitting a trough at only 3% by 2000. Having plunged, it remained unchanged until 2004, with a figure of 3% before a minor rise to 6% in the final year.
With regard to describing another noteworthy data, the figure for individuals who migrated abroad fell sharply from 60,000 in 1988 to 35,000 in 1992, followed by a modest growth of 3,000 in the following year. Moreover, there was a gradual decline, accounting for approximately 25,000 in 2002. By contrast, after this period, emigration began to rapidly rise again with a figure of exactly 50,000.
