Growing Up In Ireland Report 2013

The 2013 Growing Up In Ireland: Development from Birth to Three Years Report makes for interesting reading for those in the Social Policy field.

Amongst other things, the report found that nearly twice as many children living with parents who had never worked were classed as obese compared with those whose parents had worked.  Nearly a third of families who said they'd been affected by the recession had to cut back on basics.  It was also found that a quarter of three year olds were either overweight or obese.

The Irish Times has an article on the report here and the actual report can be downloaded from
