APPENDIX F
THE REDUCTION IN IRISH PAUPERISM OWING TO OLD AGE PENSIONS
The Report of the Irish Local Government Board for 1911 shows a
reduction in Irish pauperism between March, 1910, and March 26th, 1911,
amounting to over 18,000:--
March 26th, 1910 99,607
March 25th, 1911 80,942
------
18,665
An analysis of the figures shows that the reduction is almost entirely
due to the Old-age Pensions Act.
