New research from the ESRI has found that foreign-born residents are more likely to be employed, active in the labour market, and better educated compared to the Irish-born population.
The latest Monitoring Report on Integration has assessed the experience of migrants compared to the Irish-born population in the areas of employment, education, social inclusion and active citizenship.
It highlights that migrants also have lower incomes and are more likely to experience poverty and deprivation (14.5%) than Irish-born residents (11%).
The study found that migrants are also much more likely to be affected by high housing costs, with 37% of migrants spending more than 30% of their income on housing, compared to 9% of Irish-born residents.
The ESRI described the findings in relation to housing costs as "particularly stark".
		
		
	
	
		 
	
The report is published jointly by the ESRI, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, and the Department of Justice.
It is the latest in a series of reports that investigates how migrants in Ireland are faring.
