Abstract: Ireland’s post-famine economic history presents an unusual picture. Largely as a result of mass emigration the Irish population fell to little over half its prefamine level by 1914. Though the proportion of the labor force in agriculture fell, Ireland failed to industrialize as rapidly as other western European countries. Total national income grew slowly although there was a substantial rise in national income per capita.
