Analysis reveals pro-poor growth patterns in Ireland's post-crisis recovery, impacting various educational cohorts.

Growth incidence curves show that overall economic recovery was pro-poor during 2012-2019 in Ireland, favoring lower income cohorts.
Non-anonymous growth incidence curves were analyzed by demographic cohorts based on education and gender.
While older and less educated groups saw better growth, younger, more educated cohorts lagged behind in income recovery.
This study suggests that income distribution trends during recovery reveal important insights into economic policy effectiveness.
