Today the Department has published an interactive dashboard that allows users to explore some of the key data presented in the Population Ageing and the Public Finances in Ireland report, published last month. This dashboard allows the public to examine how Irish demographics and age-related spending are forecast to change over the coming decades. It also contains a scenario analysis section, in which the user can view how social welfare pension expenditure forecasts vary under different policy scenarios or sensitivity tests. Overall, the data highlights that Ireland’s population is set to age rapidly in the coming decades and this will have significant implications for the public finances.
