Population

Immigration into Ireland in the twelve months to April 2000 is estimated at 42 300 – slightly down on the previous year’s estimate. The number of emigrants in the same period was 22 300, resulting in a net immigration of 20 000. Births exceeded deaths by 22 300 in the same period. The combined effect of these two flows resulted in a population figure of 3.790 000 in April 2000 - up 42 300 or 1.1 % on the previous April.

The young dependency ratio (32.5 %), though declining, remains quite high by European standards. It stood at 52 % twenty years earlier.

Marriage and divorce

The number of marriages declined from a peak of 21 800 in 1980 to 16 200 in 1996. Recent years have witnessed an upward movement to 19 200 in 2000.

Fertility

The number of births registered in 2000 was 54 200, an increase of 800 on the 1999 figure. The total number of births declined from a peak of 74 400 in 1980 to a low of 47 900 in 1994. The birth rate was 14.3 ‰ in 2000 compared with 21.9 ‰ in 1980. Over 30 % of births were outside marriage in 2000 compared with 5 % in 1980. The figure has been steadily increasing in recent years.

Over 40 % of the births in 2000 were first order births compared with 20 % in 1960. By way of contrast, fourth and higher order births, which accounted for nearly 45 % of the 1960 births, only accounted for 12 % of the 2000 births.

The total fertility rate has steadily declined in Ireland since the mid-sixties. In 1964 the rate was 4.06, in 1981 it was 3.07 and in 1989 it was 2.08. Since then the rate has fluctuated to as low as 1.85 in 1994 and stands at 1.89 in 2000.

Mortality

There were 31 100 deaths registered in 2000 giving a crude rate of 8.2 ‰, lower than in most European countries because of the young age profile of the Irish population.

Migration

For the fourteen-year period April 1986 to April 2000 it is estimated that the annual average number of emigrants and immigrants were 38,000 and 34,500 respectively. The United Kingdom was the destination for 53 % of the emigrants and provided the country of origin for 49 % of the immigrants. Approximately 59 % of the emigrants were in the 15-24 age group, while about 42 % of the immigrants were aged 25-44.

Government decisions and developments in legislation

Following an amendment to the Constitution which was approved in a Referendum taken on 24 November 1995, the “Family Law (Divorce) Act, 1996” passed into law in 1996.

Demographic projections

The most recent set of population projections uses the 1996 Census of Population as a benchmark and covers the period to 2031. Six scenarios are presented corresponding to three fertility and two migration variants. The high scenario (M1F1) assumes a continuation of the net inward migration experienced over recent years, though at a declining rate, coupled with a total fertility rate of 2.0 being maintained over the projection period. The low variant (M2F3) would see net immigration eventually revert to net emigration coupled with the total fertility rate falling to 1.5 by 2011 and being maintained at that level for the remainder of the projection period.
Note 
The population is projected to increase under all scenarios reaching 4.800 000 under M1F1 and 4.000 000 under M2F3. The old population (i.e. those aged 65 years and over) is projected to double between 1996 and 2031 under all combinations of assumptions chosen. The relevant population will be 840 000 under M2 and 859 000 under M1. The very old population (i.e. those aged 80 years and over) is projected to increase from its 1996 level of 90 000 to over 200 000 in 2031.
