DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Poverty is not uniformly distributed throughout Ireland. Some areas clearly experience much higher levels of poverty than others, whether urban public housing estates or peripheral rural areas. However, the spatial dimensions of poverty are, at best, only partially understood. This book brings together disparate sources of information on the geography of poverty and initiates a debate from which can emerge more effective policy responses. It should be of interest to students of geography and the social sciences, and should appeal to policy-makers and practitioners concerned with spatial responses to poverty, such as those involved in urban, rural and community interventions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Drawing on evidence from Irish national household surveys in 1987 and 1994 and Census of Population data from 1986 and 1991, this study attempts to answer these questions. It examines the underlying assumptions regarding the way in which household and spatial factors combine to create patterns of cumulative disadvantage. It explores what types of areas have particularly high rates of poverty, the extent to which people living in poverty or who are disadvantaged are concentrated in particular areas and whether such patterns have changed over time. The study makes an important contribution to the understanding of the spatial dimensions of poverty and disadvantage. It is particularly relevant in the context of the National Anti-Poverty Strategy, the national emphasis on area-based strategies to tackle unemployment and disadvantage and the reform of local government.
Comparative Spatial Deprivation in Ireland

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This study analyses the spatial dimensions of deprivation in Ireland. Despite the economic boom in the Republic of Ireland, the number of poor people has remained high. There is a danger that the ongoing hype about the Celtic Tiger could serve to distract from the urgency of the situation. The high average prosperity masks massive internal inequality. This raises important questions about the nature and causes of poverty and social deprivation; in particular, there is a need for a greater understanding of the geographical dimensions of poverty and deprivation. The main aim of this report is to undertake a detailed analysis of socio-economic indicators at small-area level for all of Ireland, adopting a common methodology for both North and South.

Resources, Deprivation, and Poverty

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Poverty alleviation is a central aim of economic and social policy, and yet there is no consensus about what poverty means or how it is best measured. Often, the households below an income poverty line are counted as poor, but there may be no firm basis for concentrating on that particular income level. There may also be wide variations among the households below any income poverty line in terms of their actual living standards. This book explores what poverty means in developed countries, and shows that understanding and measuring it requires widening the focus beyond current income. By using broader measures of resources and information on living patterns and concrete indicators of deprivation, it shows how those who are effectively excluded from participation in society due to lack of resources can be more accurately identified, and the processes producing such exclusion better understood. The core issue of this book is how to define and measure poverty in relatively rich countries in a way which is valid, meaningful in the context, and valuable for policy-making. Extensive analysis of data from a specially designed survey of a large representative sample of Irish households is used to illustrate the arguments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This study of Ireland examines the increasing risk of poverty among female-headed households; the interaction of low pay and household poverty; and the incidence of hidden deprivation experienced by women within households. It draws extensively on the 1994 Living in Ireland survey, a national survey of over 4000 households undertaken to explore the extent of poverty in Ireland.
