“…Despite the fact that such a minimum wage increase would impact a relatively large number of people in working poor households, increases are in general of limited effectiveness in terms of achieving widespread poverty reduction (Doorley et al, 2022). For example, while we have seen that a minimum wage increase in 2019 could have impacted up to 25 per cent of people in single-earner working poor households, this amounts to just 40,411 individuals.…”

“…Accordingly, the minimum wage has been described as a 'blunt instrument' for tackling widespread poverty (Dorris et al, 2022;Redmond, 2020;Low Pay Commission, 2018). 23 This underscores the need -as also argued by Doorley et al (2022) -for other complementary policies to tackle poverty, even among the working poor.…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) is to advance evidence-based policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T. K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland. Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…Given the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, a variety of policy measures is needed to tackle poverty. Previous and forthcoming research underlines the important role of core welfare policies and family supports for reducing child poverty both in Ireland (Doorley et al, 2022;Reagan and Maître, 2020) and internationally (Barcena-Martin et al, 2017;Czhen, 2017). Maternal and paternal employment status play a central role in persistent childhood poverty and entering employment was found to be a key trigger for exiting poverty in early to middle childhood and adolescence, though not entry into part-time work (Maître et al, 2018).…”
