JUST PUBLISHED – Why is economic inactivity so persistent in Northern Ireland? by @anne_dev1 & Thomas Hastings

[Dr Anne Devlin @anne_dev1]

And often compounding barriers are evident. This makes policy in this space tricky.

Thomas Hastings (@QUBBusiness) and I have published a piece on @EconObservatory today which looks at the reasons behind economic inactivity and the barriers to work people face. From qualitative evidence we find that the barriers faced are nuanced and complex.

We find while overall rates are similar, there are much higher rates of more severe disability in NI when you drill down in to the data.

[Dr Anne Devlin @anne_dev1]

Great to see our latest report on disability rates across the island of Ireland out today. https://t.co/5uGJbGeYrQ

@C_Fitz_ Neil obviously doesn’t be getting emails from you at all times of the day and night 😅😝

[Paul Gosling @PaulGosling1]

I've come across two people this week proclaiming NI low unemployment rate. This is misleading. We have many people unavailable for work: on health waiting lists; carers; people with trauma issues; parents unable to access childcare; disabled; weak skills because of selective schooling. Better to consider employment rate.

[Dr Anne Devlin @anne_dev1]

@PaulGosling1 Yes, yes and yes.

[Dr Anne Devlin @anne_dev1]

@C_Fitz_ What about your poor co-author who has been forced in to this footnote malarky? 😅

@bradley_steve @HolyWellTrust @CSOIreland Morning Steve, will take a look for the map but the underlying data will be there. I'm not sure my mapping skills will cover it but if it isnt available I can have a go at it.

[Dr Anne Devlin @anne_dev1]

Looking forward to learning about this. A problem on both sides of the border which has significant implications for people and families!! @DrKarenKirby1 @OKeenan @ProfPaulDunlop

[Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick @C_Fitz_]
