ESS10 measured the Irish population’s perception of how likely climate change interventions will succeed – higher scores = higher expectations. It found that many are sceptical of energy reducing initiatives & Gov actions. #ClimateChange#LoveIrishResearch ess.ucd.ie

The group least satisfied with the state of the economy are those aged 25 and under (39%); the most satisfied are those aged 76 plus (59%). The under 25’s may be influenced by challenges such as housing and living costs. #Survey #LoveIrishResearch #Economy ess.ucd.ie

ESS findings reveal diverging views on virtues: 62% prioritise obedience and respect for authority in children's education. However, only 33% agree with loyalty towards leaders.  #Democracy #Ireland #Survey #ESS10 #LoveIrishResearch ess.ucd.ie

This is the first time the Living Wage has fallen since the Technical Group started calculating it a decade ago. Recent cost-of-living policy measures have had a clear, if small, impact on the rate (Rent Tax Credit, energy credits).

Here it is - the new Living Wage rate for Ireland in 2024/25.

“The latest calculation of a living wage is nearly identical to last year despite higher costs in some areas like food and rent because of a combination of lower energy costs and tax changes made in the last budget,” irishtimes.com/business/2024/…


Micheál Collins Reposted

The minimum wage remains just over €2 below the living wage of €14.75 per hour, which has fallen slightly on last year, according to the Living Wage Technical Group. @MLGCollins said it marks the first time it has done this in 10 years. independent.ie/irish-news/min…

Perceptions of Europe dipped notably during the economic crisis, hitting a low when IRL entered the Troika Bailout (2010). Trust in the EU parliament rose in later years, reaching pre-crisis levels in 2021/22. #EU #Europe #Survey #ESS10 #LoveIrishResearch ess.ucd.ie

Looking at income and health: ESS data show a clear social gradient. 60-75% of those in the bottom two deciles report good health compared to 80% above this & over 90% in the top three deciles #HealthInequality #IncomeInequality #ESS10 #LoveIrishResearch ess.ucd.ie
