The Irish labour market over the last fifty years has enjoyed some unusual features; in particular the extent to which labour mobility was legally possible and culturally accepted. Ireland moved from having a very high level of protection at the end of the 1950s to being highly integrated into the wider European economy as a member of the EEC after 1973. While the goods market was very closed up to 1960, Ireland had been part of a wider labour market with the United Kingdom for over a century, with very limited restriction on the outward movement of labour to the UK over the 75 years since independence in 1922. This has made possible very considerable migration and, as a result, the supply of labour in Ireland has been unusually responsive to external circumstances, giving rise to a more elastic supply of labour than in many other EU countries.
