[EB014] Labour Force Participation and Unemployment Rate of Population Aged 15 Years and Over Usually Resident and Present in the State 2011 to 2016

The labour force participation rate is calculated by expressing the labour force (i.e. those at work, looking for first regular job and unemployed) as a percentage of the total aged 15 years and over.#The majority of respondents from both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo indicated that they were born in Congo. With this information alone it was impossible to distinguish which of the two countries the person was in fact from. For the 2016 Census, the dual Irish breakdown has been expanded. Previously this group was broken down into four broad categories (Irish-English, Irish-American, Irish-European & Irish-Other).
