Enclosure: Social and economic development – Appendix 1 from the SDLP

Monday, 15 December 1997

i25610

The document in Appendix 2 delves into the issue of unemployment differentials between the Catholic and Protestant communities in Northern Ireland. It highlights that Catholics, especially men living in deprived urban areas, are disproportionately affected by long-term unemployment. Studies show that the scarring effect of long-term unemployment extends beyond the individual, impacting other household members as well. Despite some reduction in unemployment differentials over the years, disparities persist, with Catholics more likely to be unemployed across all qualification levels except for degree holders. Studies also address the complexities of explaining unemployment through structural factors versus religious/political discrimination, with inconclusive findings on the matter.
