Using a combination of statistical analysis of census material and
social history, this book describes the ageing of Ireland's
population from the start of the Union up to the introduction of
the old age pension in 1908. It examines the changing demography of
the country following the Famine and the impact this had on
household and family structure. It explores the growing problem of
late life poverty and the residualisation of the aged sick and poor
in the workhouse. Despite slow improvements in many areas of life
for the young and the working classes, the book argues that for the
aged the union was a period of growing immiseration, brought
surprisingly to an end by the unheralded introduction of the old
age pension.
