Description:
In this project qualitative interviews were conducted with a large sample of Irish people from three key birth cohorts: 1929-1934; 1949-1954 and 1969-1974. These cohorts enabled us to interview people reaching adulthood in the crucial decades of the 1950s (an era of socio-economic decline), the 1970s (an era of initial "modernisation") and the 1990s (the "Celtic Tiger" boom). The interviews included both a qualitative, ethnographic component, in which the respondent framed the life history according to the events, circumstances and interpretations that are significant to him or her, and a systematic component (life history calendars and network schedules) that will provide comparable data across cases. The interviewees were selected from a nationally representative sample of people interviewed from 1994-2001 for the Irish part of the European Community Household Panel Survey.
Soundclips here are taken from interviewees who indicated on their ethical consent forms that they were willing to be identified.
