This is the second of two reports on the structure of families in Ireland based
primarily on a detailed analysis of census data. Both reports uncover new findings on
evolving family structures and aim to shed light on the various driving forces behind
that evolution. The first report (Lunn, Fahey and Hannan, 2009) was mainly based on
an analysis of individual records within Census 2006. The present report offers a
more complete household‐level analysis which permits issues to be examined that
were previously beyond quantitative investigation.
