警告财政委员会, 爱尔兰公共支出下降可能因人口老化而增加。 Ireland's lower public spending may rise due to an aging population, warns fiscal council.

爱尔兰年轻人口的公共支出低于其他欧洲国家, 但爱尔兰财政咨询理事会警告, 随着人口老化, Ireland's young population keeps public spending lower than in other European countries, but the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council warns that expenses on pensions and healthcare will rise as the population ages. 目前,爱尔兰的公共服务支出比国民收入低3.3%,人均收入比其他欧洲国家低4.7%。 Currently, Ireland spends 3.3% less of its national income on public services and collects 4.7% less in revenue per person than other European countries. 政府设立了储蓄基金,帮助支付未来费用,但可能需要增加收入或重新分配支出,以处理人口老化和气候变化引起的支出上升问题。 The government has established savings funds to help cover future costs, but additional revenue or reallocation of spending may be necessary to handle rising expenses due to an aging population and climate change.
