DSP SOLAS - An Examination of the Employment Exposures to Brexit

The Activation & Employment Policy Unit of the Department of Social Protection, together with SOLAS, have produced a joint research paper titled ‘An Examination of the Employment Exposures to Brexit’.

This paper seeks to assess Ireland’s employment exposures to Brexit, by examining those sectors with the highest trade exposures to the United Kingdom. Using this information and other data sources, the paper profiles the persons employed in these sectors, including a detailed regional examination of these exposures. As such, the paper aims to act as an aid for the Public Employment Service network to inform any interventions that may be needed in the event of any Brexit-related labour market impact.
