CSO Ireland: Population and Labour Force Projections 2017-2051 - European Statistical System (ESS)

The Central Statistics Office publication, “ Population and Labour Force Projections 2017-2051" presents six population projections under contrasting scenarios for each year from 2017 to 2051 and three labour force projections are presented up to 2031.

The report is not an attempt to predict the future but rather presents how the population could evolve under different scenarios. By making assumptions about future trends in mortality, migration and fertility, we can project the population forward and examine the possible outcomes for demographic groups such as the school-going population, the working-age population and the elderly.
