Profile 9 – What We Know

Foreword

This report is the ninth of ten Profile reports examining in more detail the definitive results of Census 2011. It

examines education in Ireland and the Irish language.

The report forms part of a series of census publications providing interpretation and analysis of the 2011

census results. Profile reports 1 to 8 covered population distribution and movements, the age profile of Ireland,

industry and occupations of workers, housing in Ireland, households and families, migration and diversity,

religion, ethnicity and Irish Travellers, and most recently, health, disability and carers. The final report will look

at commuting in Ireland. A complete list of reports and publication dates can be found on page 93 of this

report.

Census 2011 Profile 9 - What we know

             

Age and level of education Among those who had completed their full-time education in April 2011 younger people were significantly better educated than their older counterparts, illustrating the ongoing gains in educational attainment in Ireland. Almost 43 per cent of people aged 20 to 39 possessed a third level qualification, compared with only 13 per cent of those aged 65 and over. As the graph above clearly shows among those aged 60 and over increasing numbers were educated to primary level only with almost half (46.3%) of those aged 65 and over in this category. Sex differences In general, females were better educated than males in April 2011. One third of females aged 15 and over had a third level qualification, compared with only 27 per cent of males. Just over 36 per cent of males were not educated to a higher level than lower secondary, whereas only 31 per cent of females had a similar level of education.

Adult education Almost 280,000 persons aged 22 and over indicated that they had not ceased their education, of which 178,710 were not full-time students. Over 60,000 of these persons who had not ceased their education were in their thirties, over 30,000 in their forties, more than 16,000 in their fifties and almost 8,000 in their sixties. There were over 5,000 persons aged 70 and over who had not ceased their education. The sex ratio was balanced, with just over half (50.8%) being female. The majority (60%) were pursuing their ongoing education while at work, with a further 23 per cent indicating that they were unemployed. Economic status varied significantly by age however. Among those aged under 40, almost 90 per cent were at work or unemployed, whereas among the 8,023 persons aged 65 and over, almost 80 per cent were either retired or looking after the home.

Table page 42-47

Sex differences Census 2011 results show that among those aged 25 to 39, women tended to stay in education longer than their male counterparts. Only 18 per cent of females in this age group completed their full-time education aged 17 or under compared with 26 per cent of males. The differences for those aged between 40 and 59 were similar. Just over 36 per cent of males and 27 per cent of females in this group had completed their education before they turned 17. Approximately 18 per cent of both males and females in this age group completed their education aged 22 or older.

Older persons Among persons aged 60 and over, sex differences were not pronounced. Almost 70 per cent of both males and females had ceased their education aged 17 or under, with slightly more males (13%) than females (10%) continuing in education until at least the age of 22.

Increasing levels of education As can be seen from figure 4 below, the educational attainment of people aged 15 and over improved significantly over the twenty years from 1991 to 2011 with falling numbers educated to primary level only and increasing numbers in the higher levels. The greatest gains have been in the numbers of those with a third level qualification rising from just 14 per cent in 1991 to 31 per cent by 2011.

Women outpace men in third level attainment

The improvement in educational attainment was more pronounced for women than for men. In 1991, 86 per cent of males and 87 per cent of females were educated to upper secondary level only. In April 2011 this percentage had fallen to 73 per cent for men and 66 per cent for women.

Graduates In 2011, 28 per cent of women were third level graduates compared with only 23 per cent of men. Of the total number of graduates (739,992) in April 2011, 413,257 (56%) were women while 326,735 (44%) were men.

Census 2011 Profile 9 – What we know

Age education ceased 1991-2011  

                                        

Completing education at a later age With the increasing level of education among the population, the age at which people ceased their full-time education steadily rose between 1991 and 2011. Of those who had completed their education in 1991, almost three in ten, representing 600,000 people, had completed their education before they turned 15. By 2006 this figure had more than halved to 13 per cent and by April 2011 it had decreased further to 11 per cent, representing fewer than 250,000 people. Simultaneously, the percentage staying in education into their 20s increased. Census 1991 recorded just over 5 per cent of persons had completed their education aged 22 or older. In April 2011, almost half a million people had completed their education after their 22nd birthday, representing close to 1 in 4 persons. The numbers continuing their education beyond age 24 increased by more than 200 per cent in the twenty years between 1991 and 2011, rising from 60,227 to 190,847.

Average age education ceased

Over 3 million persons aged 15 and over had completed their full time education in April 2011 with an overall average age of completion of 19.1 years. The results vary as evidenced by the selected administrative counties presented in table A.

The county with the oldest average age at which education ceased was Galway city at 21 years. Just behind was Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown where the average age at which education ceased was 20.9. Also recording high average ages were Fingal, Dublin city and Cork county and city.

The county in which persons on average ceased their education at the youngest age was Monaghan at 18.0 years. This represents an average age which was a full three years younger than Galway city. Education also ceased comparatively early in Donegal (18.1), Wexford (18.2) and Offaly (18.3).

Third level

The percentage of persons with a third level qualification varied greatly by county with the highest at 40.1 per cent in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and the lowest, at 17.4 per cent, in Limerick city. Galway city, with 31.3 per cent had the second highest rate overall, considerably higher than either Cork (22.1%) or Waterford city (19.7%). In Dublin city 28.2 per cent of persons had a third level qualification. Outside of Dublin and the cities, Kildare had the highest percentage of persons with a third level education (26%) followed by Wicklow (26%) and Cork county (26%).

Primary level More than one in five persons (21%) in Donegal aged 15 and over had not been educated beyond primary level, the highest for any county on Census Night. The other Ulster counties of Monaghan and Cavan also had high rates (17.6% and 16.5%) as did Mayo, Wexford and Longford - all with more than 16 per cent. Of the cities, Limerick had the highest percentage of persons educated no further than primary level at 15 per cent followed by Dublin city (14%) and Waterford (13%). Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown had the lowest with 6.5 per cent followed by Galway city (6.9%) and Fingal (7.3%).

Education and marriage The likelihood of being married increases with education attainment as illustrated in the graph below. Among those aged 35 to 44 stark differences can be seen. Just 58 per cent of those with lower secondary education were married compared with 65.3 per cent for those with an upper secondary level qualification and 69.3 per cent for those with a third level qualification. Less pronounced differences can be seen for those in the older age groups. Among persons aged between 55 and 64, those with either lower secondary or third level qualifications had an equal likelihood of being married.

Separation and divorce A higher percentage of those educated to primary level only were separated or divorced, with the percentage falling with increased educational attainment as illustrated in the graph below. Among older people in rural areas the patterns were reversed however with a higher percentage of those with a third level education divorced or separated compared with the lower educated. There was a clear urban-rural divide in separation rates, particularly among persons educated no higher than primary level. Among those aged 45-54 in urban areas 18 per cent were separated or divorced compared with 10 per cent of those similarly educated in rural areas.

Census 2011 Profile 9 – What we know

                  

Job prospects Census 2011 data shows that persons who were at work finished their education at a later age than those who were unemployed. There were 377,186 people aged 15 and over who had ceased their education and were unemployed. Just under half of these had completed their full-time education by age 18. Over 13 per cent had completed their education aged 15 or under. In contrast, among the 1.7 million persons who were at work and had completed their education, only 35 per cent had completed their education before they turned 19. Almost 30 per cent did not complete their education until they were at least 21 years old.

Early school leavers Over 389,000 persons completed their full-time education before the age of 16. Among these people, 213,895 or 55 per cent were aged 60 or over. A further 43,741 were aged under 40. The labour force participation rate for the early school leavers was 42 per cent compared with 62 per cent for the population generally, reflecting the older age profile of this group. Unemployment among early school leavers was 31 per cent, compared with the overall unemployment rate of 19 per cent. There were 25,509 persons aged between 20 and 34 who completed their full-time education aged 15 or younger. Among this group, labour force participation was relatively high at 77 per cent but the unemployment rate was almost three times the national figure at 54 per cent. This is illustrated in figure 10. In the slightly older age group of 40 to 59 year olds early school leavers labour force participation was just under 70 per cent and unemployment was 29 per cent.

Most third level qualified workers

Figure 11 presents the industrial groups (as listed in table 5 on pages 54-57) with the highest percentage of workers with a third level qualification. Almost 80 per cent of 5,301 persons who had a job in professional management consultancy services had a third level qualification, as did more than three quarters of those in scientific research and development. The sectors with the largest absolute number of persons with third level qualifications were education (113,317), human health activities (68,116), retail trade (38,463), social work activities (34,624) and financial services activities (31,645).

Farmers The agriculture sector (crop and animal production) had the largest proportion of persons who were educated to primary or lower. Almost a quarter of the nearly 84,000 persons in this sector were not educated beyond primary level.

IT and communications Almost two thirds of the over 68,000 persons working in IT and communications had a third level qualification. Only 5 per cent were educated to lower secondary level or below. Within the sector, three quarters of the workers in computer programming, consultancy and information service activities had a third level qualification as did almost 70 per cent of those working in programming and broadcasting, as shown in the table below.

Census 2011 Profile 9 – What we know

                  

Who works where? In 2011 a new question was asked on the field of study of all post–secondary school qualifications. This facilitates a detailed analysis of the occupations pursued by persons with different qualifications across a range of subjects.

Social sciences, business and law The social sciences, business and law category was by far the most popular field of study among all those with post-secondary school qualifications in 2011. Just under 300,000 persons in the labour force were qualified in this area. 248,997 people had a third level qualification in social sciences, business and law (accounting for 1 in 3 of all third level qualifications). A further 49,566 people had a second level qualification in this field. Table D shows the top occupational categories of this group. The most popular occupations for those educated to second level only were those in the administrative field, with a further 10 per cent working in a secretarial-related job. The business and public service associate professional group accounted for 9 per cent and included such jobs as estate agents, insurance underwriters and human resources officers. A further 9 per cent had a sales occupation.

Third level Two thirds of those with a third level qualification in this area were working in one of four occupational groups. The largest of these was business, media and public service professionals accounting for 19 per cent and which includes, among others, solicitors, accountants, architects, journalists and clergy. The second largest category was administrative occupations (17%) followed by business and public service associate professionals (16%). Over 13 per cent had an occupation as a corporate manager or director. The remaining 35 per cent (84,000 persons) were spread across all other occupational groups.

Education and teacher training Of all fields of study coded in the census those with a third level qualification in education and teacher training were most likely to work in their chosen field with 77 per cent working in education at the time of the census. In contrast occupations among those with second level education-related qualifications were far more varied with the largest group working in the caring and personal service category.

Arts Third level Arts graduates, of which there were 28,495 in the labour force in April 2011, had a broad range of occupations with culture and media-related occupations the most popular accounting for just over a quarter of the group; this included occupations such as artists, musicians, graphic designers and fitness coaches. A further 14 per cent had an occupation in the teaching and educational professional category. Over 10,000 persons in the labour force indicated that they had a second level Arts qualification with textile and printing trades and sales occupations featuring strongly in their occupations.

Table E Persons with qualifications in the education and in the health and welfare occupation group

Table F Persons with qualifications in the arts and humanities occupation group

Health and welfare Those with a qualification in the area of health and welfare were also likely to be working in their chosen field with over 60 per cent in a health-related occupation. A further 8 per cent were in the caring services category with the remainder across a range of occupations. As with education those with only a second level qualification in this area were more likely to be working in the caring and personal services occupation group.

Humanities Humanities graduates had a wide range of jobs. For those with a third level qualification, teaching and education was the most common occupational group accounting for one in five of the 37,079 persons. Just under 14 per cent had an administrative occupation with 11 per cent indicating an occupation as a business, media or public service professional.

Science, maths and computing

Administrative occupations such as bank clerks, office managers and administrative roles in the public sector, were the most popular among those with a second level qualification in the area of science, mathematics and computing. Just over 15 per cent worked in science research and technology occupations, with 9 per cent in sales occupations. The largest job category (41%) among those educated to third level was science, research and technology occupations. Jobs within this category included scientists, engineers, software developers and web designers.

Table G Persons with qualifications in the science and engineering related fields occupation group

Table H Persons with qualifications in the personal services and security services occupation group

Personal services The personal services field of study includes qualifications relating to accommodation, catering, travel, hairdressing and beauty therapy. Of the 35,000 persons with a second level qualification in one of these fields, 22 per cent were working in the textiles, printing and other skilled trades group, which includes chefs and bar managers, while 20 per cent were in the leisure, travel and related occupations group.

Engineering, manufacturing and construction

More people held second level qualifications (102,181 persons) in the area of engineering, manufacturing and construction than held a third level qualification in this field (89,864 persons). Amongst those with second level qualifications 1 in 3 were working in the skilled metal, electrical and electronic trades with a further 23 per cent in the skilled construction and building trades. Those qualified to third level were most likely to be employed in the science, research and technology area, followed by business, media and public service occupations (17%).

Security services Security services qualifications include the Garda, Fire service, Prison Officers, and Army and Security Guard training. More than half of those with a third level qualification were working in the protective services (Gardaí, Prison Officers and Soldiers) with a further 12 per cent in a business and public service associate profession. Those with second level qualifications were more likely to be working in the elementary administration and service occupations such as security guards, and parking and civil enforcement occupations.

Significant variations There was considerable variation in the fields of education studied by persons in each county in April 2011. Just under half of those in the labour force with a third level qualification in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (24,033 persons) attained their qualification in social sciences, business and law. In contrast, only one quarter of Donegal’s labour force with a third level education had a similar qualification (4,890 persons). Similarly, 13 per cent of the workforce in both North and South Tipperary and Waterford county who had a second level qualification studied in the agriculture and veterinary field. Only 1 per cent of those with the same level qualification in South Dublin and in Dublin and Limerick cities had studied in this field.

Health and welfare Across the State, 14 per cent of persons in the labour force with a third level qualification had studied in the health and welfare field. Almost one in five persons with a third level qualification in Kilkenny and Sligo had studied in this field - the highest among all counties, and followed by Laois, Offaly, South Tipperary, Donegal and Monaghan. In contrast, only one in ten persons with a third level qualification in the labour force in Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown and in Limerick city had studied health and welfare, with relatively low numbers also recorded in Dublin city and in Wicklow.

This represented a significant increase of over 52 per cent on 2006. There were more men (13,018) than women (8,952). Science, mathematics and computing was the most common areas of study accounting for 37 per cent of all Ph.Ds, followed by health and welfare, with almost 18 per cent holding a qualification in this area. There were 826 Ph.D holders who were either unemployed or looking for their first job, giving an unemployment rate for the group of 4 per cent. Of the 17,772 persons in the group at work, over 60 per cent worked in either the education or human health and social work industries.

Perhaps reflecting the concentration of third level institutions and hospitals in the capital, over 20 per cent of Ph.D holders (4,636 persons) were enumerated in Dublin city. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown had only 5 per cent of all persons who had completed their education yet accounted for 13 per cent of all Ph.D holders.

Almost half a million among lower educated

In April 2011 there were over 450,000 persons in Ireland who had finished their education having completed no higher than primary school. Of these 42,387 indicated that they had no formal education. More than half (55%) of the persons in this group lived in urban areas. Just under 20,000 of the lower educated were aged between 15 and 29. The slight majority of this younger group (52%) were males. However, among the 86,403 persons under 50, the proportion of males rose to almost 60 per cent.

Economic status There were 61,663 persons aged between 20 and 44 who were educated to primary level or lower in 2011. Labour force participation among this group was 68 per cent compared with 86 per cent for those of the same age educated to upper secondary school level. A further 16 per cent indicated that they were unable to work due to permanent sickness or disability, while unemployment was 52 per cent.

Unable to work Almost 10,000 lower educated persons aged between 20 and 44 were unable to work due to illness or disability. The vast majority (89%) of these people had at least one disability. Over 5,500 (57%) had an intellectual disability with a further 5,000 (51%) having a difficulty with learning, remembering or concentrating.

Parents’ education Table J presents the percentage of 20 year olds in family units who were students by the level of education of their parents. Twenty year olds with both parents educated to third level had an 89 per cent chance of being a student with 4,012 out of a total 4,500 in this group still in full-time education. Among those with two parents with an honours bachelor degree or equivalent 92 per cent were full-time students. In contrast, just over half of 20 year olds who had parents without third level qualifications were themselves full-time students. Among those for whom both parents were educated no higher than lower secondary only 44.6 per cent were students, while for those with two parents educated to upper secondary level only, 68 per cent were still in full-time education.

Fathers and mothers Fathers’ level of education appears to be a stronger determinant of whether or not a child will remain in education to the age of 20. In families where the mother was educated to upper secondary and the father had an honours degree 87.5 per cent of 20 year old children were students whereas in families where the mother had an honours degree and the father was educated to upper secondary only 79.9 per cent were students.

Table K Percentage of 20 year olds in family units who were full-time students classified by socio-economic group

Socio-economic group Education participation varied considerably by socio-economic group (SEG). Table K shows the percentage of 20 year olds in family units who were students, classified by SEG; (because no occupation data is collected for students, their SEG is donated from a family member, normally a parent).

High educational participation… There were 2,387 20 year olds in the higher professional category. Of these 94.7 per cent were students, the highest percentage of any socio-economic group. The children of the employers and managers category (6,476 students) and the lower professionals (4,344) also represented high levels of education participation (91.2% and 90.2% respectively). The children of farmers and own account workers has participation levels above 85 per cent.

…and lower participation At 26.9 per cent the children of those in category Z, ‘All others gainfully occupied and unknown’ had the lowest participation in education. These were families where the parents were not in the labour force, or did not state their occupation. Agricultural workers also had a low rate of education participation among their 20 year old children (27.5%).

Employers and professionals The children of employers and managers and professional workers combined accounted for 45.9 per cent of all 20 year old students (see figure 16 on the left), while all persons in these two groups accounted for only 33.9 per cent of the overall population.

Can you speak Irish? The total number of persons (aged 3 and over) who could speak Irish in April 2011 was 1,774,437. This was an increase of 7.1 per cent on the 1,656,790 persons who could speak Irish in April 2006. There were more females (973,587) able to speak Irish than males (800,850).

School-goers and Irish Figure 17 above shows the age structure of those persons who could speak Irish by the frequency of speaking Irish. The graph clearly illustrates (in the light blue bars) the large numbers of school children who spoke Irish on a daily basis within the education system. Between the ages of 5 and 18 inclusive just under 450,000 children spoke Irish on a daily basis in school representing 87 per cent of all persons who spoke Irish within education in 2011.

Daily speakers There were 77,185 persons speaking Irish on a daily basis outside of the education system in April 2011 (represented in red in the graph above). Twenty three per cent of these were aged 5 to 18 (17,457 persons), a further 23,359 (30%) were in the age group 25-44. There were more women (42,157) than men (35,028).

Weekly speakers There were 110,642 persons who said that they spoke Irish on a weekly basis outside of education. Again, there were more females (61,176) than males (49,466) speaking Irish on a weekly basis and relatively larger numbers of females spoke Irish weekly in the 35-44 age group than in the other non-school going ages.

Fifty one per cent of the population of Galway county could speak Irish in 2011 - the highest of any county as illustrated in figure 18. Clare (48.1%), North Tipperary (47.1%) and Limerick county (47%) were the next highest administrative counties while Dublin City (32.1%), South Dublin (35.8%) and Louth (36.1%) had the lowest percentages.

Irish speakers in rural areas and cities Looking at the country in terms of area type, rural areas had the highest percentage of persons who could speak Irish with 46.3 per cent of Irish speakers, well above the State average of 40.6 per cent. Amongst the cities Galway city and its suburbs had the highest rate of Irish speakers (44.2%) followed by Cork city and suburbs (44%). The lowest rate for a city was recorded for Dublin city and suburbs (35.2%). Of the towns, the smaller towns of population less than 1,000 persons had the highest rate of Irish speakers at 41.6 per cent of their population.

Daily Irish speakers 

  

Daily speakers Of the 1.77 million persons (aged 3 and over) who indicated that they could speak Irish in the 2011 census, 77,185 said that they spoke Irish on a daily basis outside of the education system. This represented 1.8 per cent of the population aged 3 and over.

More females There were 42,157 females speaking Irish on a daily basis in 2011 compared with 35,028 daily Irish male speakers, similar to 2006 when female daily speakers outnumbered male daily speakers. Figure 20 opposite shows the sex ratio by 5 year age group of daily Irish speakers for 2006 and 2011. Up to age 52 females outnumbered males in each single year of age and, in particular, females in their thirties and early forties were more numerous than their male counterparts. There were just 634 male daily Irish speakers for every 1,000 female daily speakers in the 35-44 age group.

One in four daily speakers were children Figure 21 shows the age and sex structure of daily Irish speakers in 2011. One quarter of all daily Irish speakers (or 25.4%) were in the school-going ages of 3 to 18 years. Of these, females numbered 10,343 and males numbered 9,239. Over half (53.5%) of daily Irish speakers, or 41,209 persons, were aged between 25 and 64 and most of these were females (23,342). The peak ages for daily Irish speakers were in the early school-going years of 5 to 10. Another peak was observed in the late 30’s and early 40’s. In particular, in these ages, females had their peak at age 39 and males at age 38. There were slightly more males in the 50-70 age group. For example, there were 1,123 male daily Irish speakers for every 1,000 female daily Irish speakers in the 70-74 age group in 2011.

Daily Irish strong in rural areas Of the 77,185 daily Irish speakers in Ireland in 2011, 33,424 persons or 43.3 per cent were enumerated in a pure rural area, with the remaining 43,761 enumerated in towns. Table L shows those towns with the highest proportions of daily Irish speakers in April 2011. Six of the top ten towns were in Donegal. County Galway had three towns in this list, one of which, Cill Rónáin, is on the island of Inishmore, off the Galway coast. Larger towns, of population 1,500 or more, worthy of note were An Daingean (16.4%) in Kerry, Bearna (8.4%) and Maigh Cuilinn (6.5%) in Galway county, where the proportion of daily Irish speakers was well above the State average of 1.8 per cent. Of the towns with a population of 10,000 or more, Letterkenny had 3.1 per cent of its population aged 3 or over who spoke Irish daily, the highest of these towns. Of the cities, Galway city and its suburbs had the highest proportion of its population (aged 3 or over) who spoke Irish on a daily basis (3.3%).

Dublin city and suburbs Due to the sheer size of its population Dublin city and its suburbs had the largest number of daily Irish speakers with 14,229 persons representing 18.4 per cent of all daily speakers. Cork, Galway and Limerick combined had 6,336 daily speakers accounting for 8.2 per cent of the total.

Western seaboard towns After the cities the largest absolute numbers of daily Irish speakers were in the small towns along the western coasts of Donegal, Galway and Kerry. An Bun Beag-Doirí Beaga in Donegal with 897 daily Irish speakers, Letterkenny with 596 and An Cheathrú Rua in Galway county with 483 daily speakers had the largest numbers of daily Irish speakers.

Higher educational attainment Daily Irish speakers were more highly educated than the population generally, as illustrated in figure 23. Of those daily Irish speakers who completed their education 43.8 per cent had a third level degree or higher. This compared to a rate of 25.8 per cent for the State overall (see figure 23).

2,074 The number of secondary school teachers who spoke Irish daily outside school in 2011

1,033 The number of farmers at work who spoke Irish daily in 2011

Labour force participation rates The labour force participation rates for daily Irish speakers aged 15 and over was 62.9 per cent for males and 53.9 per cent for females. These were lower than the corresponding rates for the population as a whole (male rate 69.4%, female rate 54.6%) in 2011.

Lower unemployment The census based unemployment rates for daily Irish speakers, for males and females respectively, were 19.3 and 10.8 per cent compared with 22.3 and 15 per cent for the population as a whole in 2011.

Socio-economic group There were proportionately more daily Irish speakers assigned to both the socio-economic groups B - Higher professional (8.1%) and C - Lower professional (24.2%) than were assigned in the overall population aged 3 and over (6.3% and 12% respectively). The reason for this was the relatively high number of primary, secondary and third-level teachers, nurses and midwives who spoke Irish on a daily basis in 2011. Table page 70

An Ghaeltacht  

  

     

     

The Gaeltacht areas The gaeltacht areas are defined by The Gaeltacht Areas Orders, 1956–1982, and cover areas in the seven counties of Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Meath, Mayo and Waterford. In 2011, there were a total of 96,628 persons aged 3 or over in the gaeltacht areas, representing an increase of 5.2 per cent over the 91,862 persons in 2006. A total of 66,238 persons (aged 3 or over) or 68.5 per cent of persons in the gaeltacht areas said that they could speak Irish in 2011. This was an increase of 1,973 persons over 2006. However, the proportion who spoke Irish has dropped from 70 per cent in 2006.

1 in 4 daily Irish speakers The number of daily speakers outside of the education system in the gaeltacht regions was 23,175 persons or 24 per cent of all persons aged 3 or over in these regions. A further 6,813 spoke Irish on a weekly basis. Some 4,682 persons indicated that they could speak Irish but didn’t do so on a regular basis.

Age profile Figure 24 shows the population pyramid of persons (aged 3 or over) in the Gaeltacht regions by ability and frequency of speaking Irish. The large numbers of school children who spoke Irish daily within the education system can be seen (dark blue bars) in the ages 5 to 18. The daily speakers (light blue bars) were numerous across all ages, however, there were relatively high proportions of persons unable to speak Irish also.

It’s a fact!

Background Notes

A Census of Population was taken on the night of Sunday, 10 April 2011 in accordance with the Statistics (Census of Population) Order 2010 (S.I. No. 207 of 2010)1. This report is the ninth in a series of profile reports and looks at education in Ireland and the Irish language. Coverage of the Census The census figures relate to the de facto population i.e. the population recorded for each area represents the total of all persons present within its boundaries on the night of Sunday, 10 April 2011, together with all persons who arrived in that area on the morning of Monday, 11 April 2011, not having been enumerated elsewhere. Persons on board ships in port are included with the population of adjacent areas. The figures, therefore, include visitors present on Census Night as well as those in residence, while usual residents temporarily absent from the area are excluded. The date of the census was chosen to coincide with a period when passenger movements were at a minimum and, consequently, the figures closely approximate to those for the normally resident population. Members of the Defence Forces who, on Census Night, were serving abroad with the United Nations were excluded from the enumeration. Conduct of the Census A temporary field force consisting of 6 Census Liaison Officers, 44 Regional Supervisors, 438 Field Supervisors and some 4,854 part-time Enumerators carried out the census enumeration. During the four weeks before Census Day the enumerators entered details in respect of 2 million private residences and communal establishments in their enumerator record books. They simultaneously delivered blank census questionnaires to 1.65 million of these dwellings that were expected to be occupied on Census Night. Approximately 290,000 residences were vacant at the time of the census, while in the remaining cases the household was either enumerated elsewhere or temporarily absent from the State. The collection of completed questionnaires took place between Monday 11 April and Friday 13 May, 2011. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) wishes to record its appreciation of the public-spirited co-operation received from households and the work carried out by the census field force.

                                                                 1 The Statistics (Census of Population) Order 2010 was made by the Taoiseach in pursuance of powers conferred on him by

section 25 (1) of the Statistics Act 1993 (No. 21 of 1993).

Appendix 2

Definitions Education As in Census 2006, persons aged 15 years and over were asked 3 questions on education in Census 2011. The first question asked if a person had ceased their full time education. If they had answered ‘yes’, they were then asked the age at which it ceased. The second question asked what was the highest level of education (full or part time) completed to date. The levels ranged from no formal education to a tertiary post doctorate degree. The final question asked what the main field of study of the highest qualification (excluding Secondary school qualifications) completed to date was.  

Industry  In Census 2011 industry is coded using NACE – the General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities. The current version, NACE Rev. 2, is a 4-digit activity classification that was adopted in 2006 and is a revision of the version originally published by Eurostat in 1970. The previous version, NACE Rev.1, was in use in the censuses of 2002 and 2006. To aid in the comparison of data from both censuses, industry has been dual-coded in 2011, i.e. coded to both NACE Rev.1 and NACE Rev.2 NACE Rev 2 is a hierarchical classification, with 88 Divisions at 2-digit level, 272 Groups at 3-digit level and 615 Classes at 4-digit level. The NACE Rev 1 classification is also hierarchical, with 62 Divisions at 2-digit level, 224 Groups at 3-digit level and 514 Classes at 4-digit level. The NACE Rev.2 classification is shown in Appendix 3. The industry in which a person is engaged is determined (regardless of their occupation) by the main economic activity carried out in the local unit in which he or she works. If, however, the local unit provides an ancillary service to another unit in the business (e.g. administration, storage, etc.) then the persons in the ancillary unit are classified to the industry of the unit it services. Thus, while the occupational classification is concerned only with the particular work performed by an individual regardless of the activity carried on at the local unit, the industrial classification is concerned only with the ultimate purpose of the unit or end product regardless of the precise nature of the work performed by each individual. A manufacturing or commercial unit may employ persons with many different occupations for the purpose of making a particular product or for giving a particular service. Conversely, there are cases in which particular occupations are largely confined to a single industry. For example, the majority of persons with agricultural occupations are in the agriculture industry and most miners are in the mining industry. The term industry used for Census of Population purposes is not confined to manufacturing industry. It is synonymous with the term “sector of economic activity”. The basis of the industrial classification is, in the case of employees, the business or profession of their employer and in the case of self-employed persons, the nature of their own business or profession.

Occupation  The Occupation classifications used in the census are based on the UK Standard Occupational Classification2 (SOC), with modifications to reflect Irish labour market conditions. The latest version of SOC is SOC2010. Previously the census used a classification based on the SOC90 classification, which was first used in Census 1996. The Soc classification adheres to the international occupation classification ISCO Com (88) and provides a link to ISCO Com (88). Census 2011 has been dual-coded to both the Soc90 and Soc2010 classifications to allow for comparisons with previous years. The hierarchical structure provided within these classifications is suited to accurate automatic coding.

The code to which a person’s occupation is classified is determined by the kind of work he or she performs in earning a living, irrespective of the place in which, or the purpose for which, it is performed. The nature of the industry, business or service in which the person is working has no bearing upon the classification of the occupation. For example, the occupation “clerk” covers clerks employed in manufacturing industries, commerce, banking, insurance, public administration, professions and other services, etc., The Soc2010-based classification is shown in Appendix 4.  

Socio-economic group  

The entire population was classified to one of ten specific socio-economic groups (introduced in 1996). In addition, a residual group entitled. “All others gainfully occupied and unknown” was used where sufficient details were not provided. The classification aims to bring together persons with similar social and economic statuses on the basis of the level of skill or educational attainment required. In defining socio-economic group no attempt is made to rank groups in order of socio-economic importance. The socio-economic group of persons aged 15 years or over who are at work is determined by their occupation (coded using Soc90) and employment status. Unemployed or retired persons aged 15 years or over are classified according to their former occupation and employment status.

Persons looking after the home/family or at school/college, who are members of a family unit, were classified to the socio-economic group of another person in the family unit using a priority table based on the relationships within the family. Thus, if the reference person3 of a family was at work, unemployed or retired, other persons were assigned to his/her socio-economic group. If the reference person was neither at work, unemployed nor retired (e.g. never worked, permanently disabled, etc.), they were assigned to the socio-economic group of the other parent, spouse or cohabiting partner in the family unit. If there was no such spouse or partner or if the spouse, in turn, was neither at work, unemployed or retired, they were assigned to the socio-economic group of a working son/daughter. If there were no persons in the family unit with a socio-economic group then they were assigned to the unknown socio-economic group. Other persons looking after the home/family or at school/college who were not members of a family unit, such as relatives of the reference person (e.g. widowed grandparents, etc.) were assigned a socio-economic group using the above method. Unrelated persons or persons living alone who are looking after the home/family or at school/college were assigned to the unknown group. The socio-economic groups used in the census are as follows:

A Employers and managers B Higher professional C Lower professional D Non-manual E Manual skilled F Semi-skilled G Unskilled H Own account workers I Farmers J Agricultural workers Z All others gainfully occupied and unknown

                                                                 3 The reference person in each private household is the first person identified as a parent, spouse or cohabiting partner in the first family in the household. Where no person in the household satisfies these criteria, the first usually resident person is used as the reference person.

80  

Social class  The entire population is also classified into one of the following social class groups (introduced in 1996) which are defined on the basis of occupation (coded using Soc90): 1 Professional workers 2 Managerial and technical 3 Non-manual 4 Skilled manual 5 Semi-skilled 6 Unskilled 7 All others gainfully occupied and unknown The occupations included in each of these groups have been selected in such a way as to bring together, as far as possible, people with similar levels of occupational skill. In determining social class no account is taken of the differences between individuals on the basis of other characteristics such as education. Accordingly social class ranks occupations by the level of skill required on a social class scale ranging from 1 (highest) to 7 (lowest). This scale combines occupations into six groups by occupation and employment status following procedures similar to those outlined above for the allocation of socio-economic group. A residual category “All others gainfully occupied and unknown” is used where no precise allocation is possible. Private household A private household comprises either one person living alone or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping arrangements - that is, sharing at least one meal a day or sharing a living room or sitting room.  A permanent private household is a private household occupying a permanent dwelling such as a dwelling house, flat or bedsitter (see question H1 on the second page of the census form). A temporary private household is a private household occupying a caravan, mobile home or other temporary dwelling and includes travelling people and homeless persons living rough on Census Night (see question H1 on the second page of the census form).

Size of household The number of persons in a household consists of the total number of persons usually resident there on the night of Sunday, 10 April 2011, including those absent from the household for less than three months. Visitors present in the household on census night are excluded. Household reference person The reference person in each private household is the first person in the household identified as a parent, spouse, cohabiting partner or head of a non-family household containing related persons. Where no person in the household satisfied these criteria, the first usually resident person was used as the reference person. For the purposes of expressing the household reference person in simple terms for the reader, the terms head of household or householder are sometimes used instead of the household reference person in this report.

81  

Family units A family unit or nucleus is defined as: (1) a husband and wife or a cohabiting couple; or (2) a husband and wife or a cohabiting couple together with one or more usually resident never-

married children (of any age); or (3) one parent together with one or more usually resident never-married children (of any age). Family members have to be usual residents of the relevant household. The determination of household and family composition is based on responses to the question on the census form dealing with relationships within the household. Aggregate town and aggregate rural areas The term Aggregate Town Area refers to towns (including environs of legal towns) with a total population of 1,500 or more. The term Aggregate Rural Area refers to the population outside Aggregate Town areas and includes the population of towns with a population of less than 1,500 persons.

The Gaeltacht areas The gaeltacht areas are defined by The Gaeltacht Areas Orders, 1956–1982, and cover areas in the seven counties of Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Meath, Mayo and Waterford. Frequency of speaking Irish The classification of frequency of speaking Irish in this report is different to that used in the 2006 publications. In 2006 the categories used corresponded to the 6 items below: 1. Daily within education only 2. Daily within and also outside education 3. Daily outside education only 4. Weekly outside education only 5. Less often outside education only 6. Never Category 2 Daily within and also outside education was generally then expanded in a second table to show the frequency of speaking Irish outside education (i.e. daily, weekly, less often or never). In the current report the Irish speakers in category 2 have been added to categories 3 to 6 according to frequency of speaking outside education to give the following classification: A. Daily within education only B. Daily outside education C. Weekly D. Less often E. Never

Categories B to E above may include people who also speak Irish within the education system, but this report focuses on their frequency of speaking the language outside education. The web tables which accompany this release use the 2006 classification, so that comparisons between the 2 censuses can be made.

Explanatory Notes

Question H3 – Does your household own or rent your accommodation?If you rent your accommodation (box 3), or live in it rent free (box 4), you should also answer the second part of the question ‘who is your landlord?’. Select the appropriate box (1, 2 or 3) to indicate whether your landlord is a ‘Private landlord’, a ‘Local Authority’ or a ‘Voluntary/Co-operative housing body’, regardless of whether or not you pay all or part of the rent yourself, or if it is paid on your behalf by the HSE or any other body.

Question H4 – If your accommodation is rented, how much rent does your household pay?If the HSE or any other body pays part of the rent, only the amount paid by the household should be entered. Enter the amount to the nearest Euro and mark the box corresponding to the period covered e.g. if your household pays a weekly rent of €78.60 enter 79 and mark box 1. If all of your rent is paid on your behalf enter 0 and mark box 1.

Question 4 – RelationshipThe relationship question is designed to determine families within households. This includes where there are two or more families in the one household. For example, a household consisting of an adult daughter living with her two parents and her own child would be counted as a two family household.

The example given below shows how the question should be answered for the child in this situation, where the parents are Persons 1 and 2 on the form, the adult daughter is Person 3 and the child is Person 4.

Mark one box only for each person.

Question 7 – Where do you usually live?This question refers to your place of usual residence at the time of the Census. If you have lived at this address for a continuousperiod of at least 12 months before Census Night, or have arrived at this address in the 12 month period before Census Night with the intention of staying here for at least one year you should mark box 1 (HERE). If your usual residence is not here but is elsewhere in Ireland (including Northern Ireland) you should mark box 2 and write in your full address. If your usual residence is elsewhere abroad you should mark box 3 and give the country of usual residence.

The general guideline is that a person’s place of usual residence is where he/she spends most of his/her daily night rest. The following specific guidelines should be used:

• Those away from home during the week who return to the family home at weekends should consider the family home as their place of usual residence.

• Primary and secondary students who are boarding away from home, and third level students at college or university, should consider the family home as their place of usual residence.

• If a person has spent or intends to spend 12 months or more in an institution then the institution is that person’s place of usual residence.

• If a person regularly lives in more than one residence during the year then the place where he/she spends the majority of the year should be chosen as his/her place of usual residence.

Question 8 – Where did you usuallylive one year ago?This question is for persons aged 1 year or over. The guidelines in relation to Question 7 also apply to this question. If your place of usual residence one year before the Census was the same as now you should mark box 1 (SAME as now).

Question 9 – Have you lived outside the Republic of Ireland for a continuous period of one year or more?This question is for persons aged 1 year or over. If your place of usual residence is in the Republic of Ireland and you were either:

• born in this country and lived outside it for a continuous period of one year or more, or

• born abroad and lived outside Ireland for a continuous period of one year or more,

then you should mark box 1 (Yes). You should also write in the year of last takingup residence in this country and thecountry of last previous residence.

Question 15 – Do you speak a language other than English or Irish at home?If you do not speak a language other thanEnglish or Irish at home you should markbox 2 (No) and proceed to Question 16. This means those who speak only English and/or Irish at home do not have to reporton their ability to speak the English language.

Question 16 – Do you have any of the following long-lasting conditions or difficulties?For the purpose of this question a long lasting condition or difficulty is one which has lasted or is expected to last 6 months or longer, or that regularly re-occurs.

Question 22 – Do you provide regularunpaid personal help for a friend orfamily member with a long-term illness, health problem or disability?If you provide regular unpaid help as a carer, regardless of whether or not you are in receipt of Carer’s Allowance/Benefit, you should mark box 1 (Yes) and write in the weekly number of hours of caring.

Question 25 – What is the highest level of education/training (full-time or part-time) which you have completed to date?The categories distinguished in this question follow the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). Further details can be found at www.nfq.ie

Further information on FETAC, HETAC, foreign qualifications and all otherqualifications in general can be found at www.census.ie

Question 26 – What is the main field of study of the highest qualification you have completed to date?This question is to capture post-secondaryschool qualifications only. If you have a number of qualifications, the field of study relating to the highest qualification only should be listed.

Question 27 – How would you describeyour present principal status?You should mark one box only to select the category which you feel best describes your present principal status. If you are on sick leave or maternity leave and intend to return to work at some stage you should mark box 1 (Working).

Question 34 – Address of place ofwork, school or collegePersons who leave the household to attend work, school or college should supply the full name and address of this place.

For children who attend pre-school facilities (e.g. crèche, kindergarten) outside the home, the full name and address of this facility should be supplied by the person filling in the form.
