    Abstract

    The impact of the Great Recession in Ireland and the resultant austerity programs have provoked widespread debate about rising levels of poverty and economic stress, and changes in how these are distributed across the population. Previous research in Ireland found significant variation in the distribution of economic stress over the life course and by social class position. During the recession younger households experienced higher level of economic stress than older households. In this study we were particularly concerned with the experience of economic stress in families with children. We investigated how it varied by socioeconomic position and how it changed over time in absolute and relative terms.
