“Between 2008 and 2013, there was, according to Eurostat, with some extrapolation based on CSO:
A population decline of 207,900 in the age cohort of 15-29 years; in this same period, 281,800 in this age group emigrated; if we assume that 48.3 percent of this emigration was recession-related, then the recession-related emigration figure is 136,100.”“So nearly two-thirds (65.5 percent) of the decline in the key age cohort is due to recession-related emigration.”
