Migration
Ireland's long history as a country of significant emigration is well known and documented. Between 1871 and 1961, the average annual net emigration from Ireland consistently exceeded the natural increase in the Irish population, which shrank from about 4.4 million in 1861 to 2.8 million in 1961. Caused primarily by Ireland's lagging economic development, net emigration was particularly high in the "age of mass migration" (1871-1926) and in the post-World War II era (1951-1961). With the exception of the 1970s, when, for the first time in Irish history, net migration to Ireland was positive, outflows continued to exceed inflows until the early 1990s.
An estimated 3 million Irish citizens currently live abroad, of whom 1.2 million were born in Ireland. The majority live in the US and the UK. In 1996, Ireland reached its migration "turning point," making it the last EU member state to become a country of net immigration. The main reason: rapid economic growth created an unprecedented demand for labor. Unemployment declined from 15.9 percent in 1993 to a historic low of 5.7 percent in 1999. While total emigration flows have remained significant (with an annual average of about 24,800 during 2000-2003), total inflows increased markedly in the mid-1990s
General information
The history of Ireland has seen troubled times. For centuries British domination in Ireland gave rise to unrest which erupted in the Easter risings of 1916 when independence was proclaimed. The rising was crushed and many of its leaders were executed, but, the campaign continued.
In the early 1920's, 26 counties of Ireland gained independence from London. The islands other 6 counties, part of the province of Ulster, remained in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Partition was followed by a year of civil war
