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
