The line chart provides data on the proportion of jobless people and the number of people leaving the country of Ireland over a period of 20 years, starting from 1988.
Overall, throughout the period studied in question, both the rate of the unemployed and the number of emigrants decreased, albeit at varying degrees. Another key point is the fact that while the percentage of unemployment was higher at the beginning, the quantity of people leaving the country surpassed than that of jobless people's rate in the final year.
Looking at the proportion of unemployed individuals first, initially, there were around 17% of people without work, thereafter which the figure fell significantly to just under 5% in 2000. Before increasing to 10% in the end, the ratio of jobless people remained stable at 5%.
As for the number of emigrants, it started the period with roughly 40,000, and reached a chart high of 70,000 in 1990. Having declined to approximately 35,000, the figure fluctuated further and ended the period with just over 40,000.
