INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1960, a Census of the population was taken on 23rd April, 1961, which was also the date of Censuses in the other parts of the United Kingdom. It was the fourth since the establishment of the Government of Northern Ireland, previous Censuses having been taken in 1926, 1937 and 1951.
The present Report, which is the concluding volume in the 1961 series, summarises for Northern Ireland as a whole the statistics published in the seven County Reports (including the Report for Belfast County Borough). It also contains information, for example, that on persons with scientific or technological qualifications and on the ages of the working population by industry, which was not analysed on a county basis. Generally, it brings together, with such explanatory notes and commentary as seem necessary, the tabulated results of all the enquiries made at the Census except those relating to the children and marriage dates of women who were or had been married and which are dealt with in the separate Report on the Fertility of Marriage.
As in the past, the success of the Census operation was vitally dependent on help from many quarters, most of them being mentioned in the notes on the various fields of Census activity in Part I of the Report. Their valued assistance is grate fully acknowledged. That the main task, viz., the actual enumeration, was carried out so smoothly and expeditiously reflects the highest credit on the large body of enumerators and their Superintendents for the efficient way in which they performed their duties and, especially, on householders and other members of the public for their ready co-operation in completing the Census returns.

VIII PART I
GENERAL NOTES ON THE CENSUS
HISTORICAL SURVEY
An official and complete Census of Ireland was taken first in 1821 and every ten years until 1911 in keeping with enumerations in Great Britain. Thereafter, and following the establishment of the Government of Northern Ireland under the Govern ment of Ireland Act, 1920, Censuses have been taken in Northern Ireland in 1926, 1937, 1951 and 1961, the last two having been simultaneous with Censuses in the remainder of the United Kingdom.
The 1926 enumeration was a full one, including questions on orphanhood, infirmi ties, dependent children under sixteen years of age, occupation and industry. That of 1937 was limited in content, being in the nature of an interim measure pending the Census which it w&s intended to take throughout the United Kingdom in 1941 but which was made impracticable by the 1939-45 war. The outbreak of war also prevented the issue of a normal General Report on the 1937 Census; instead, publication was restricted to a booklet containing brief summary tables and without any statistical notes or commentary thereon.
With the long interval since the previous full Census of 1926 and the many changes in social conditions particularly during the latter half of the period, it was inevitable that the 1951 Census should have a wide coverage. Consequently, in addition to such basic topics as sex, age, marital condition, usual address and birth place, questions were asked about the nationality of persons born outside the United Kingdom, the period of residence of persons born outside Northern Ireland, religion, attendance at educational establishments,- occupation and industry. Compared with the Census on the same day in Great Britain, the principal omissions related to the age at which employed persons ceased to have full-time education, the marriage and number of children of married women under 50 years of age, place of work and the availabi lity of household arrangements.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE 1961 CENSUS (a) The Questions: The schedule of enquiries to be made at the 1961 Census was drawn up in close collaboration with Northern Ireland Government Departments and the Census Authorities in Great Britain. Certain specialist outside interests, notably in the Faculties of Economics and Medicine at the Queen's University Belfast, were also consulted. It was decided that, subject to the modifications necessary to meet local requirements, the programme proposed for Great Britain should be adopted in Northern Ireland, thereby ensuring a high degree of comparability of information on a United Kingdom basis. As a result, the 1961 Census was considerably wider in scope than any of its predecessors.
Questions on relationship to head of household, sex, age, marital condition, usual address, birthplace, nationality and religion were similar to those in 1951, with the exceptions that the marital condition enquiry applied to persons aged 16 years and over compared with 14 years and over in 1951 and persons born outside the British Isles had to state their usual address a year ago as well as their present address. The occupation and industry questions, which were directed to persons aged 15 years and over as against 14 years and over at the previous Census, included an enquiry about the number of hours worked. The remaining personal questions, asked for the first time in Northern Ireland, were identical with questions in Great Britain and were concerned with (i) the age at which full-time education ceased, (ii) academic and professional qualifications in science and technology and (iii) the marriage and number of children of women who were or had been married.
A further innovation was a series of questions, mostly also in line with questions posed in Great Britain, aimed at eliciting information about private households and dwellings. The head of each private household was required to state the tenure of the accommodation occupied and the extent to which piped water, cooking and toilet IX facilities were available. Additionally, the enumerator had to indicate on each private household return the number of rooms occupied by the household, the total number of households occupying the premises, the type of accommodation occupied and whether it was in a building which was wholly residential or not wholly residential.
The full extent of the questions may be seen from the copy of the Household Return reproduced at the end of this Report. The same personal questions were asked in the other types of returns used at the Census except the special Forces Return which excluded enquiries about relationship, usual address and the fertility of marriage but enquired as to the individual's rank or rating and the Service in which employed in lieu of the standard questions on occupation and industry.
In the main, the only information collected at the Census in Great* Britain which • was not also sought in Northern Ireland was the postal address of oneTs place of work and particulars of persons who normally lived in the household but who were absent on Census night.
(b) Legislation: The authority for the taking of the Census and the publication of the Census Reports was contained in the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1960. The Act fixed the Census date, prescribed the persons by whom and with respect to whom the Census returns were to be made and provided, inter alia, for the appointment of enumerators, the making of the detailed enumeration arrangements and the strict observance of the confidential nature of the returns. It also authorised the Ministry of Finance to collect and publish from time to time any available statistical infor mation concerning Northern Ireland until the taking of the next Census.
(c) The Census Returns: By far the greater part (almost 97 per cent) of the enumeration was concerned with persons in private households. Such persons were enumerated on the Household Returns which were also used for persons in non-private households in solely residential premises such as boarding houses and hotels. Some what different forms of returns were supplied in respect of (i) persons enumerated in hospitals, welfare homes, religious communities, boarding schools and other instutional establishments which existed for a specific functional purpose in addition to providing residential accommodation; (ii) persons aboard ships other than H.M. Ships and (iii) Service personnel, excluding Servicemen and their families living as private households in married quarters, in establishments under Naval, Military or Air Force discipline.
An arrangement was made, under the provisions of the Census Act, whereby with certain exceptions an individual, who did not wish to disclose his personal details to the person responsible for completing the return, could fill in a separate confidential return which was then left in a sealed envelope for the enumerator or handed to him direct. The particulars on the separate return were subsequently copied by the enumerator into the return in which they would normally have been included. In practice, the facility was used sparingly and there was no evidence of its abuse.
(d) Enumeration Districts and Enumerators: The organisation for the actual enum eration work was much the same as at previous Northern Ireland Censuses except that in the Border areas, where sufficient members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary could not be released, the detailed enumeration duties were undertaken by other persons. Each Police District, with the local District Inspector acting as Superintendent of Enumeration, was constituted a Census District and divided into suitably sized enumeration districts having regard to such factors as the nature of the terrain, the concentration of dwellings and the boundaries of administrative and other recog nised territorial divisions. In all, there were 34 Census Districts and 1}094 enum eration districts. Members of the R.U.C. acted as enumerators in 993 districts; 101 other persons - selected in point of their experience of comparable duties, knowledge of the countryside, physical fitness, etc. - were appointed to act in the remaining enumeration districts. These persons received a basic payment of £18, a fee of 9d. for each return collected and a mileage allowance in respect of specified travelling necessarily undertaken.
During the week preceding the period for delivery of the returns, members of the Census Office staff visited the various Census Districts to assist in briefing the enumerators on their duties.
x (e) Publicity: Over and above their legal obligations in the matter, the willing co-operation of members of the public is vital to the successful taking of a Census. To that end, they must be made aware of the Census and its primary objects, of ,the meaning of and the reason for particular questions and of the need for accuracy and promptness in completing the returns.
With Censuses fixed for the same day in 1961 throughout the United Kingdom, there was wide publicity - at national and local levels - through comments and special features on the Census in the daily Press and news items and talks on radio and television. The combined effect did much to ensure an informed and understanding public. Local efforts also included the issue of 4?000 Census posters for display at schools, post offices, police stations, transport depots, libraries, other public buildings and large industrial and business establishments. Almost 8,000 free copies of an explanatory pamphlet entitled "The Census of 1961" were distributed mostly with the posters and to clergymen (some of whom arranged advisory talks on the Census with their churchgoers) and such organisations as chambers of commerce and young farmers1 clubs.
THE ENUMERATION
The distribution of returns commenced with deliveries on 12th April to the large hospitals and institutions with an estimated resident population of 100 or more persons. The general delivery, mainly to private households, began on 14th April and continued as was necessary to 21st and in isolated cases to 22nd April. The collec tion of returns, which commenced on the morning of 24th April, i.e. the day after Census day, had to be completed by 6th May at the latest. The enumerators were instructed to carry out the collection as quickly as possible, particularly of returns from ships and caravans and from boarding houses, hotels and other premises likely to have changing populations. Special arrangements were made to help ensure that any houseless persons, or persons who moved from one house to another between the times of delivery and collection of returns, were not overlooked.
In the course of delivering returns, each enumerator was required to enter in his enumeration record book such particulars as the address and brief description of every building in his district, the name of each householder and the type of return delivered. It was his duty to give any explanations which were sought or which he considered advisable regarding the questions on the returns. On collecting a return, he had to record the fact in the enumeration book, examine the return and satisfy himself that it was properly filled up and signed. Additionally, he had to complete the panel on each private household return relating to the number of households occupying the premises and the type of accommodation occupied.
Apart from.the problems of delivering and collecting returns within the times allotted in large and heavily populated districts, the enumeration went smoothly and favourable comments^were received on the degree of co-operation from the public generally. Many householders, however, had difficulties in answering some of the questions, especially the rather complex enquiries about occupation and industry, with the result that the enumerators often had to spend an unexpectedly high pro portion of their time in examining and correcting returns at the doorstep. One refusal to make a Census return was reported, but the householder subsequently complied with the requirement after being interviewed by a Census Office official. The only other incident of that type was the adamant refusal of a householder to answer certain questions on the return; on investigation of the case, it was decided not to initiate a prosecution.
SCRUTINY AND 00DING OF INFORMATION
On receipt of the completed documents in the Census Office, a check was made that all the constituent townlands or streets of each enumeration district had been accounted for and that the returns for the district were properly arranged within their cover. For Preliminary Report purposes, examination of individual entries was limited to seeing that the particulars in the sex and age column were legible and in the required form for transference to punched cards. Coding of information at that stage was likewise confined to two fields, viz. administrative area of enumera tion and religion. XI If age was not stated, further enquiries were instituted through the enumerators, In 271 cases the information was either not forthcoming or not received in time for inclusion in the ages analyses shown in the Preliminary Report. Residually, the ages of 227 persons (77 males and 150 females), or less than one in every 6,000, were estimated by the Census Office and inserted in the returns, having regard to the stated information about the individuals and/or their relationship to and the ages of other persons on the same returns.
Following the punching of Preliminary Report cards, the returns were subjected to a comprehensive and detailed examination with a view to detecting obvious errors and omissions. Part of this work was carried out as a general and separate scrutiny exercise, including verification of the enumerator's count of the numbers of males and females enumerated on each return. The remainder related to specific fields of information, for example, qualifications in science and technology, and was combined with the actual coding of the information. Where sex was omitted, the required particulars were deduced from such details on the return as name and relationship; a similar procedure applied also to marital condition, although in a few instances the information inserted was nothing more than an intelligent guess. In all other fields except age which is referred to above, particulars were revised or inserted only where the correct information could be inferred or assumed with reasonable certainty from the context of the other answers on the return.
While much of the information, including sex, marital condition and household arrangements, was merely coded mentally by the punched card operators when trans ferring the data to cards, the manual insertion on the returns of the more intricate codes was the largest clerical job in the Census Office. In the interests of speed and accuracy, the personal particulars to be coded were grouped, with a separate Section of staff responsible for coding each group, as follows:- (i) usual address, address a year ago, birthplace and nationality; (ii) qualifications in science and technology and fertility information; and (iii) occupation and industry. Coding of tenure and type of accommodation was done by a further Section in conjunction with the detailed comparison of the entries in the enumeration books and the corresponding particulars in the returns.
Initially, all scrutiny and manual coding was checked 100 per cent. As staff became experienced, the proportion of work checked was gradually reduced and fell in most cases to ten per cent subject to the officer maintaining a sufficiently low error rate. The various scrutiny, coding and related operations were integrated and programmed to provide an ample flow of fully notated returns for final card punching. At the height of these operations the Census Office staff, which excluded staff on card punching duties, totalled 33 of whom 27 were clerks and clerical assistants.
PROCESSING OF DATA
In the preparation of a few tables involving straightforward extraction of figures, for example, those dealing with parliamentary constituencies and inhabited buildings other than private dwellings, clerical methods sufficed. Otherwise, because of the range and volume of information desired from the Census returns, use was made as far as practicable of up-to-date automatic data processing techniques. While for some of the analyses conventional punched card methods were adopted, the bulk of the data processing was done and the tabulations prepared by electronic computer. The operations were carried out in two phases, the preparation of the Preliminary Report tabulations being completely independent of the compilation of those for the final County, General and Fertility Reports.
(a) Preliminary Report: For the Preliminary Report a punched card was prepared for each person enumerated, showing administrative area, sex, age, religion and the indicative information necessary to relate the card to the appropriate Census return. A large percentage of the cards was verified to ensure that the punch operators had carried out the data conversion correctly, but no mechanical check on the validity of the data was made at that stage. Disregarding time spent on their training prior to the receipt of the returns, ten operators and a supervisor were occupied on card punching for a period of three months.
XII As soon as all cards for an administrative area were punched, they were sorted and counted to provide the figures for the Report. For some areas the processing was done by electro-mechanical counter sorters, for others an I.C.T. type 1201 electronic computer was used, according to the availability of machines. Apart from card punching for which the operators were specially recruited, the automatic data processing work on the Preliminary Report was absorbed by the staff of the Central A. D.P. Unit of the Ministry of Finance. One Systems Officer from the Unit was responsible for the general planning of the work.
(b) Final Reports: Although the limited information on the punched cards for the Preliminary Report was also required for the final reports, there were compelling technical reasons for creating a new and independent set of cards for the preparation of the more comprehensive tables in the latter reports. An 80-column card, of the layout shown below, was therefore punched for each person.

The punching was done on machines which reduced manual effort by the automatic duplication of indicative information common to a batch of cards and skipping of fields of information not applicable to individual records. Other information was keyed in by hand with the exception of social class and socio-economic group to which reference is made in a later paragraph. All the cards punched for the final reports were verified. The punching and verifying occupied ten operators and a supervisor for approximately 13 months.
Except for the manually prepared tables and those in the General Report dealing with scientific and technological qualifications for which the figures were specially compiled in advance by conventional punched card methods, the processing of data for the final reports was carried out on an I.C.T. type 1500 electronic computer. The technical investigation of the Census requirements and the preparation of detailed job specifications were, for the most part, undertaken by the Central A.D.P. Unit of the Ministry. Computer programming and operating were subsequently carried out by International Computers and Tabulators Limited at their computer department in London. Throughout the processing, liaison between the Census Office and the Company was maintained by the Central A.D.P. Unit which was also responsible for the various local ancillary services such as the preparation of data correction cards.
At -the outset of the main operations, the data on the punched cards were trans ferred to magnetic tape. The next step in the processing was the validation and credibility testing of the information. Although scrutiny of the returns had elimi nated most of the obvious errors, the more complicated correlations, such as compar ing occupation with sex, age, terminal education age, industry and employment status, were not practicable by clerical methods. The speed of the computer, coupled with its capacity to exercise considerable repetitive discriminatory power, made it suitable for extending the scrutiny. Accordingly, an editing programme containing 138 main tests for incompatibility was written, which, with a number of tests covering more than one possibility, provided for a maximum of about 440 checks to be
XIII applied depending on the individual record. Two distinct types of queries were incorporated in the editing programme, one to locate definite errors and the other to detect information of doubtful accuracy.
In all, it was found that some 21,000 records, or slightly under 1.5 per cent, each gave rise to at least one query, some resulting in several. The queries, which were printed out by the computer,, were examined in relation to the Census returns and, where necessary, the correct data were collated into the appropriate records on the tape.
The computer also executed a programme to derive social class and socio-economic group. This was done on the basis of a standard cross-classification of the occupa tion and employment status codes punched on the cards. Additionally, for Fertility Report purposes, where a husband and wife were enumerated on the same return, the computer automatically associated their records and appended the husband's socio economic group code to the wife's record.
In proving the computer programmes, sample tabulations were compiled in respect of a selected area and compared with corresponding tabulations prepared from the appropriate punched cards using conventional counter sorters in the Central A. D. P. Unit.
Having accumulated the various analyses, the computer printed as many of the tabulations as practicable in a form which, after editing, enabled them to be used as the actual printer's drafts.
CENSUS REPORTS
The first release of information was on 30th May, 1961, when Parliament was presented with a statement giving provisional figures, compiled from unchecked summaries submitted by the enumerators, of the population in each county, county borough and administrative area. A Preliminary Report followed in November, 1961, which, in essence, was the 1961 equivalent of the two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 Census. In addition to information on the ages and religious denominations of the population, the Preliminary Report included figures of the private dwellings and households in administrative areas. A new Topographical Index, replacing the edition issued in the series of Reports on the 1986 Census, was published in January, 1963.
Issue of the final Reports commenced with that for Belfast County Borough in October, 1963, and continued at intervals in respect of each county (Londonderry County and County Borough being covered by a single Report) until publication of the County Tyrone Report in July, 1964. The present General Report and the Report on the Fertility of Marriage complete the series.
COST OF THE CENSUS
The total cost of the 1961 Census - actual expenditure to a recent date plus the estimated cost of services to complete the operation - was £105,732, which represents an average of Is. 5§d3fc . per head of the enumerated population. Details are as follows:- £ Salaries, wages and centralised services 55,425 Enumerators' fees and travelling expenses 8,003 Purchase of punched cards; rental, etc., of punching and other automatic data processing machines 25,184 Printing, stationery, publications, maps and incidentals 10,108 Accommodation and related services 7,012 Total 105,732
xiv The cost of the 1951 Census was assessed at £49,839. The much higher cost of the 1961 operation is attributed mainly to (a) higher salary and wage levels and increased costs generally; (b) the additional work in consequence of the wider scope of both the information collected and the resultant tabulations; (c) the employment of civilian enumerators in certain districts and (d) the publication of a complete Topographical Index and a Fertility Report, neither of which had a counterpart in 1951.

The 1961 Census population comprises all living persons, irrespective of their usual address or nationality, who spent Census night in the area of enumeration. Members of the Armed Forces (including those of Commonwealth and foreign countries except personnel aboard foreign naval vessels) are included. Persons travelling on Census night were enumerated with the population of the district in which they arrived the next day unless they had already been enumerated elsewhere. Persons on vessels at moorings or anchorage in Northern Ireland waters or aboard ships on coastwise voyage to Northern Ireland ports were counted as part of the population of the district containing the mooring, anchorage or arrival port.
Population figures for the 1951 Census are adjusted to relate to areas as constituted at the date of the 1961 Census. Figures for earlier Censuses relate, generally, to areas as constituted at the respective Census dates.
ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS
Northern Ireland comprises six counties and two county boroughs. The counties are divided into a total of 65 administrative areas (9 municipal boroughs, 25 urban districts and 31 rural districts); they are also divided into 129 county electoral divisions which form the territorial units for county council election purposes. The two county boroughs, six municipal boroughs and eleven urban districts are divided into wards which are the units for elections to the respective local councils; in the case of the remaining three municipal boroughs and fourteen urban districts, the entire borough or urban district is the unit for municipal elections. In the rural districts, the units for local council elections are the district electoral divisions of which there were 606 at Census day.
There are 48 territorial constituencies for elections to the Northern Irelaftd Parliament, each returning one member. Additionally, four members are returned by the constituency of The Queen's University of Belfast. There are twelve constituencies for elections to the United Kingdom Parliament.
The following changes, affecting Census statistics, took place in the names, constitution or boundaries of administrative areas during the last intercensal period:-
Co. Antrim
(i) A portion of Lisburn Rural District, with a population of 1,206 in 1951, was transferred to Lisburn Urban District on 1st April, 1955.
(ii) A portion of" Larne Rural District, with a population of 253 in 1951, was transferred to Larne Municipal Borough on 1st April, 1956.
XVI (iii) Belfast Rural District was abolished on 1st April, 1958. A portion, with a population of 20,215 in 1951, became the Newtownabbey Urban District; the remaining portions, with their 1951 populations shown in brackets,' were transferred to Antrim Rural District (1,508), Larne Rural District (400) and Lisburn Rural District (7,695).
Co. Armagh
(i) A portion of Lurgan Rural District, with a population of 187 in 1951, was transferred to Lurgan Municipal Borough on 1st April, 1957.
Co. Down
(i) The name of Newtownards Rural District was changed to North Down Rural District on 1st August, 1954.
(ii) A portion;of North Down Rural District, with a population of 16 in 1951, was transferred to Bangor Municipal Borough on 1st April, 1956.
Since the 1961 Census was taken, the name of Downpatrick Rural District was changed to East Down Rural District (1st January, 1962); the latter name is used in this Report.
BUILDINGS FOR HABITATION
For enumeration record purposes, a building was broadly defined as a structure comprising one or more rooms or other spaces enclosed within external or party walls. A structure detached from but subsidiary to a main building was regarded as part of the main building unless it contained residential accommodation normally occupied by a separate household. Non-permanent structures such as huts, shacks and converted railway carriages and mobile structures such as tents and caravans were treated as buildings only if they were occupied on Census night or were some person's usual residence. Unoccupied structures of wood, asbestos, corrugated iron, etc., used as casual residences, e.g. at week-ends or holiday times, were regarded as buildings if they appeared to be of sound construction and had amenities such as piped water, sewerage facilities and electric lighting.
Dilapidated structures which were unoccupied and unlikely to be used again were ignored. Buildings in course of erection were listed only if some part thereof was in use as residential accommodation.
Buildings for habitation comprise all buildings used wholly or partly as residential accommodation. They are divided into two categories:-
(i) Private dwellings consisting of structurally separate units of living accommodation occupied or normally occupied by private households. They include houses, flats, non-permanent and mobile structures, and accommodation in buildings which are not wholly residential. Married quarters in Service establishments are also included.
A building is regarded as not wholly residential if part of it is used exclusively or primarily for purposes other than living accommodation, for example, a factory or block of offices containing a director's or caretaker's flat, or a building comprising a shop and dwelling. Buildings such as a doctor's or dentist's house with a room or annexe used as a surgery and a house containing a clergyman's or author's study are, however, treated as wholly residential.
(ii) Other buildings such as hotels, hostels, boarding houses, hospitals, welfare centres, religious community premises, boarding schools and other premises which exist for a specific functional purpose in addition to pro viding residential accommodation. Civilian shipping and establishments under Naval, Army and Air Force discipline are included.
XVII The term boarding house covers buildings described as such in the Census returns and any buildings returned as private dwellings but containing five or more boarders. At the 1951 Census, private dwellings in which three or more boarders were enumerated were classified as boarding houses.
The term inhabited denotes actual residence of a person or persons on Census night. Uninhabited buildings therefore include not only those which were vacant on Census night but also those from which the usual occupants were temporarily absent. Permanent habitation means normal occupation all the year round.
TYPES OF PRIVATE DWELLINGS
Inhabited private dwellings are classified on the basis of instructions issued to the Census enumerators and which are summarised as follows:-
(i) A dwelling house means a dwelling of permanent construction which is not divided into flats and is not a farmhouse. A prefabricated bungalow provided by a local authority is included.
(ii) A flat means a completely self-contained dwelling on one or more floors with a separate entrance from the street or from a common landing or staircase. It must be possible to move between its rooms internally, without using a common landing or staircase used by other households. Also, none of the household arrangements (see notes on page XIX) must be shared with the occupants of another unit of dwelling accommodation in the building. Where a building has been converted for the use of two or more households, the accommodation of any part is not regarded as a flat unless each part occupied by a householder has a main door giving access to the whole of the accommodation and unless the other conditions specified above are satisfied. (iii) A farmhouse means a dwelling of permanent construction from which the occupier carries on farming as a main occupation. In practice, a dwelling described as a farmhouse on the Census return was classified as such only if at least one member of the household was engaged in farming. (iv) Some other type of dwelling means a tent, caravan or other movable dwell ing, or such structure as a barn, out-office, hut or shed of wood, corrugated iron or similar non-traditional material and which, though fixed, is of such a temporary and insubstantial nature that it cannot be regarded as a permanent dwelling.
TENURE OF PRIVATE DWELLING ACCOMODATION
When completing the Census returns, private householders were required to indicate, under the following headings, how they occupied their accommodation; the information is tabulated on the same basis:-
(i) As owner-occupier, including purchase by mortgage.
(ii) By renting from a local or public authority, including the Northern Ireland Housing Trust, the Sailors' and Soldiers1 Land Trust, Housing Associations and Government Departments.
(iii) By renting from another landlord, and whether rented furnished or unfurnished.
(iv) In some other way: this category covers accommodation which is neither owned nor rented by the household, for example, a house or flat occupied free of rent by virtue of the particular employment of the head or other member of the household.
In Table 5, a dwelling shared by two or more households is classified accord ing to the tenure stated by the main household, the latter being identified on the basis of a graded list of tenures, owner occupied taking precedence over rented and rented/unfurnished taking precedence over rented/furnished. HOUSEHOLDS
A household is a person living alone, or a group of persons living together and normally partaking of meals together, whether in a dwelling or part thereof or in a hotel, boarding house, hospital, Service establishment or other premises in which some form of residential accommodation is provided. A private household is a household occupying all or part of a dwelling house, flat, farmhouse or other type of dwelling. A person (or persons) living in the same dwelling as, but not boarding with, the household is treated as a separate private household; but if the person usually has at least one meal per day provided by the household he is regarded as part of the household.
HOUSEHOLD ARRANGEMENTS The arrangements on which information was collected in respect of each private household are listed below. The householder was requiired to state whether individual arrangements were used only by the household, shared with another household or were not available.
(i) Cold water tap refers to a tap within the building, excluding a tap in an open yard.
(ii) Hot water tap means water piped to a boiler, a tank with immersion heater, geyser, sink heater, or any form of heating appliance which will allow hot water to be drawn from a tap within the building.
(iii) Fixed bath means a bath permanently installed with a waste pipe leading outside the building. It is immaterial for this purpose whether there is water piped to it or whether the room where it is installed is used only as a bath room.
(iv) Water closet means any water closet, within or attached to the building or in the yard, emptying into a main sewer, septic tank or cesspool. It does not include a chemical closet or earth closet.
(v) Kitchen sink means a sink inside the building, whether in a kitchen or not, with a drain pipe leading outside the building, and normally used for washing up. It need not have water piped into it. A wash basin used primarily for personal toilet is excluded.
(vi) Cooking stove or range means any cooking stove, kitchen range or other fixed grate using gas, electricity or any other fuel, provided there is an oven. It does not apply where the only method of cooking is by gas-ring, hotplate, portable electric or oil oven or by open fire.
ROOMS
The rooms counted are those normally used by the household for living, eating or sleeping purposes. A kitchen if so used is included, but not a scullery which is used only for washing, cleaning or cooking. A pantry, cloakroom, landing, lobby, closet or bathroom, or any warehouse, office, shop or other room used for non- domestic purposes is also excluded.
In the tables classifying households by rooms occupied, any room shared by two or more households in the same dwelling is allocated wholly to one (usually the main) household, ensuring however that the total number of rooms in the dwelling is not altered.
VALUATION
The figures shown in Table 4 relate to the rating year 1961/62 and have been supplied by the Commissioner of Valuation. They are the totals of the valuations in the various areas before reduction on account of derating, but exclude in certain
XIX cases the valuations of such miscellaneous items as electricity, gas, trolley bus and water undertakings, telegraphs, telephones and fisheries. The total of the excluded valuations is given in a footnote to the table.
Subject to the Local Government (Rating and Finance) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, as amended by subsequent legislation, agricultural land and buildings are exempt from all ordinary rates, while industrial and freight-transport hereditaments and salmon and eel fisheries are partially derated. The consequent deficiency in the yield of rates is made good by way of General Exchequer contributions.
USUAL ADDRESS
The persons regarded as having their usual addresses in the area of enumeration include:-
(i) Persons enumerated in their own homes, and those enumerated in and having a settled residence in private lodgings, boarding houses and hotels.
(ii) Resident domestic staff enumerated at their places of work.
(iii) Persons enumerated in and who were inmates of homes for old people, homes for terminal care, homes for handicapped persons and homes for persons requir ing special care.
(iv) Persons enumerated in chronic sick or psychiatric hospitals and who had been patients or inmates for six months or more.
(v) Crews enumerated on vessels and usually living aboard ship, except crews of vessels registered in ports outside the United Kingdom.
(vi) Persons with no fixed addresses and persons for whom usual addresses were not stated and which could not be assumed from the Census returns.
School children and students living away from home during term time were required to give their home addresses on the Census return. Members of H.M. Forces not enumerated on the special Forces return had to give the addresses of their married quarters or other home addresses.
In addition to giving their usual addresses on Census day, persons born outside the British Isles were also required to state their usual addresses a year ago, i.e. at 23rd April, 1960.
BIRTHPLACE
A person born in a country which at Census day had ceased to have a separate existence is regarded as born in the absorbing country, for example, birthplace stated as Estonia, Latvia or Ukraine is classified as U.S. S.R. If the birthplace-of an individual was not stated on the Census return, the county or country of birth was assumed only where this could be done with reasonable certainty from other entries in the return.
NATIONALITY
A person born outside the British Isles had to state his nationality on the Census return. A person born in a British Colony was instructed to enter "British" on the return. A citizen of one of the following was instructed to write "British" or "Commonwealth citizen":- United Kingdom and Colonies, Canada (including Newfoundland), Australia, New Zealand, The Union of South Africa, India, Pakistan, Ghana, Ceylon, The Federation of Malaya, The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, The State of Singapore, Nigeria and Cyprus.
xx RELIGION
In this classification, religious professions which differ only or mainly in denominational terminology are generally grouped together, and figures for the group as a whole are shown under the name by which the group is officially or commonly known. Thus the heading Presbyterian includes United Presbyterian, Trinitarian and Church of Scotland. Church of Ireland is regarded as embracing both Aaglican and Episcopalian except for persons so described who had a usual address in England; such persons are classified as Church of England. In keeping with the practice in the 1951 Census Reports, figures for Church of England and Episcopal Church of Scotland are merged with those for Church of Ireland in the body of the tables, but their totals are given in a footnote to Table 19.
TERMINAL EDUCATION AGE
At the 1951 Census, information was sought as to whether persons at educational establishments were attending full-time or part-time. In 1961, all persons aged 15 years and over, who at Census day had ceased to receive full-time education at school, college, university, etc., were required to state the age at which their full-time education ended. In this Report, such age is referred to as the terminal education age.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL QUALIFICATIONS
The question on scientific and technological qualifications, introduced at the 1961 Census, was the same as that asked at the Censuses in the other parts of the- United Kingdom. It required all persons, irrespective of their occupation, who held one or more of the qualifications listed below in a branch of science or technology to state (i) the academic and/or professional qualifications held and (ii) the main branch of science or technology in which the qualifications were held.
Qualifications Example University Degree or University Diploma B. Sc. or B.Agr. of equivalent standard, (it was not or University necessary to list qualifications higher Diploma, than a First Degree or Diploma).
Associateship or Diploma of University Dip. Tech. Degree Standard awarded by an (N. C.T.A.) or educational institution other than a A. of Heriot-Watt University. College. Graduate or Corporate Membership of a Grad. M. of professional institution. Institution of Electrical Engineers or Corp. M. of Institution of Civil Engineers
The particular branches of science or technology in which the required qualifi cations had to be held were as follows:- Agriculture [including dairying, estate management, forestry and horticulture) Biology (all branches) Chemistry (other than pharmacy) Chemical Engineering including Biochemistry Civil and Structural Engineering Geology Electrical Engineering Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Physics Mining Engineering General Science Metallurgy Any other science, engineering or technology except medicine, dentistry,pharmacy, optics, veterinary science, architecture, economics, geography and the social sciences. XXI Tables 23-26 set out the results in a form which enables considerable comparison to be made with corresponding information published for Great Britain.
OCCUPATIONS AND INDUSTRIES
The economic activity information collected at the Census was in respect of persons aged 15 years and over, and related to the activity during the week ended 22nd April, 1961, i.e. the week preceding Census day. For a person in employment, particulars were required of his main gainful employment during the week, irrespec tive of whether he was following his usual occupation or of the hours actually worked; if not in employment or wholly retired at the end of the week, the refer ence was to his last full-time employment. ' ,
A fourfold classification was adopted in analysing the economic activity information, namely, by occupation, industry, employment status and economic position, each being independent of the others and dealing with a different aspect of a person's employment or former employment. The results are tabulated on the basis of the revised occupational and industrial Classifications used for 1961 Census purposes in the rest of the United Kingdom, viz., the Classification of Occupations, 1960 (H.M.S.O. Price £1. 7s. 6d. net) and the Standard Industrial Classification, 1958 (H.M. S.O. Price 2s. 6d. net). Compared with previous Classifi cations, considerable changes have been made in the new Classifications to help make them conform with the current organisation of industry and commerce and to bring them more into line with recommended international standard Classifications. A detailed comparison of the 1961 data with those of earlier Censuses is, therefore, necessarily limited.
As at the 1951 Census, the sole criterion for determining a person's occupation is the kind of work he performs. The nature of the factory, business or service in which he is employed has no bearing on his occupational classification except to the extent that it may enable the nature of his duties to be more clearly defined. Thus every joiner, whether employed in shipbuilding, the building industry or on routine maintenance work in a textile factory, is classified to the same occupational group. The only exception to the rule applies to labourers assigned to groups 181-188 where the allocation is on a strictly industrial basis. Similarly, the industry to which a person is classified is largely independent of his occupation and is determined by reference to the business or economic activity in, or for the purposes of, which his occupation is followed, regard being had only to the nature of the service or product to which his labour contributes. For classification purposes, the industrial unit used is the "establishment", which is normally the whole of the premises, such as a factory, transport undertaking or shop, at a particular address.
Brief definitions of certain terms in the Report are given below.
Occupied or economically active population: All persons in employment during the week preceding Census day, including those temporarily away from work because of holidays, sickness, strikes, etc.; also included are persons who were out of employment but expecting to work again and young persons who had left school and were seeking their first job.
Working population: the occupied or economically active population excluding persons out of work.
Large establishments: establishments, other than farms, employing 25 or more persons. /
Small establishments: other establishments.
Family workers: relatives of their employer living in the same household as him.
Part-time workers: persons whose employment during, the week preceding Census day was for less than the full working week in the occupation for reasons other than strikes, lock-outs, short time working, sickness or holidays.
XXII Economically inactive population: all persons aged 15 and over without paid occupations. Included are the following specified groups:- Institution inmates: inmates of institutions who returned a former occupation and were not stated to be retired, but who were known or assumed to be with drawn from employment for a period in excess of six months.
Retired persons: formerly occupied persons who ceased to be employed and did not expect to work again.
Students: persons at>6ve the age of compulsory education at educational establishments.
Housewives: with no other stated occupation.
SOCIAL CLASS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUP
A convenient /summary of economic activity information for social and medical purposes is provided by two further classifications, namely Social Class and Socio economic Group.
Social Class - Under this classification, the many occupational unit groups are arranged into the following five broad categories:- I. Professional, etc. occupations
II. Intermediate occupations
III. Skilled occupations
IV. Partly skilled occupations
V. Unskilled occupations
To give a somewhat finer classification, social classes II, III and IV are divided into "manual", "non-manual" and "agricultural" sub-groups. Within this framework, social class I is wholly "non-manual", and social class V wholly "manual". Members of the Armed Forces and persons with inadequately described occupations are excluded from the classification.
Socio-economic Group - The 13 socio-economic groups introduced in 1951 are replaced by 16 rather different groups, the allocation of persons to the groups being determined by a cross-classification of occupation and employment status. The socio-economic groups, with brief definitions, are as follows:-
(1) Employers and managers in central and local government, industry, commerce, etc. - large establishments
(2) Employers and managers in industry, commerce, etc. - small establishments
(3) Professional workers - self employed
Self employed persons engaged in work normally requiring qualifications of university degree standard.
(4)^Professional workers - employees Employees engaged in work normally requiring qualifications of univerity degree standard. •
(5) Intermediate non-manual workers
finployees, not exercising general planning or supervisory powers, engaged in non-manual occupations ancillary to the professions but not normally requiring qualifications of university standard; persons engaged in artistic work and not employing others thereat; and persons engaged in occupations
XXIII otherwise included in Group (6) who have an additional and formal supervlsory function.
(6) Junior non-manual workers
Employees, not exercising general planning or supervisory powers, engaged in clerical, sales and non-manual communications and security occupations, excluding those who have additional and formal supervisory functions.
(7) Personal service workers
Employees engaged in service occupations caring for food, drink, clothing and other personal needs.
(8) Foremen and supervisors - manual
Employees (other than managers) who formally and immediately supervise others engaged in manual occupations, whether or not themselves engaged in such occupations.
(9) Skilled manual workers
Employees engaged in manual occupations which require considerable and specific skills.
(10) Semi-skilled manual workers
Employees engaged in manual occupations which require slight but specific skills.
(11) Unskilled manual workers
Other employees engaged in manual occupations.
(12) Own account workers (other than professional)
Self employed persons engaged in any trade, personal service or manual occupation not normally requiring training of university degree standard and having no employees other than family workers.
(13) Farmers - employers and managers
Persons who own, rent or manage farms, market gardens or forests, employing people other than family workers in the work of the enterprise.
(14) Farmers - own account
Persons who own or rent farms, market gardens or forests and having no employees other than family workers.
(15) Agricultural workers
Employees engaged in tending crops, animals, game or forests, or operating agricultural or forestry machinery.
(16) Members of armed forces.
The detailed allocations of the occupation/employment status groups to the social classes and socio-economic groups are given in the Classification of Occupations, 1960.
CONVENTION AS TO DOTS (.) AND DASHES (-)
In the tables, a dot (.) indicates that figures are not available or that the column heading is not relevant to the particular line on which the dot is shown; a dash (-) indicates that the quantity is zero or, in the case of rates, less than half of the final digit. XXIV PART III
STATISTICAL NOTES
The explanatory notes/and definitions in Part II apply equally to the the notes which follow and to the tables in Part IV.
AREA
Excluding the larger rivers, lakes and tideways, the area of Northern Ireland at Census day was 5,242 square miles or about 16 per cent of the corresponding area of Ireland as a whole. Particulars of the area of each county, county borough and administrative district of county are given in Table 4.
POPULATION
The population of Northern Ireland was 1,425,042, of which 694,224 were males and 730,818 were females. This was 54,121 or 3.9 per cent more than the total at the 1951 Census, and represented an annual average increase of 5,390 persons compared with annual average growths of 6,463 and 2,134 persons during the 1937-51 and 1926-37 intercensal periods, respectively. The increase in males was 26,405 and in females 27,716, the proportionate increase in each case being virtually the same at just under four per cent.
Table 2 shows the trends since 1821 when, at the first official Census of Ireland, the population of Northern Ireland was 1,380,451. Between that year and 1841 the number of persons increased by 268,494 to a total of 1,648,945, which is the highest yet recorded; but the heavy death roll and outward migration in the potato famine years of the following decade was largely responsible for a decrease of 206,428 or 12. 5 per cent at the 1851 Census. With continuing high emigration, the population fell by a further 206,461 persons during the forty years to 1891. The decline ceased about the turn of the century, a decrease of 5.3 per cent for the period 1881-91 being followed by an increase of 0.1 per cent for the period 1891-1901. The three subsequent Censuses also showed small increases, viz., 1911:- + 1.1 per cent; 1926:- + 0.5 per cent and 1937:- +1.8 per cent. While the marked increase of 91,176 persons or 7.1 per cent during the years 1937-51 was higher, actually and relatively, than the increase during the most recent intercensal period, it should be remembered that the former period included the war years 1939-45 when emigration to countries outside the British Isles was largely suspended.
With simultaneous Censuses in the areas concerned in both 1951 and 1961, the enumerated population of Northern Ireland may be compared with that in the other parts of the United Kingdom as follows:-
1961 population Population Intercensal Increase as percentage 1951 1961 Persons %_ of United Kingdom total Northern Ireland 1,370,921 1,425,042 54,121 3.9 2.7 England and Wales 43,744,924 46,104,548 2,359,624 5.4 87.5 Scotland 5,096,415 5,179,344 82,929 1.6 9.8
United Kingdom 50,212,260 52,708,934 2,496,674 5.0 100.0
A reasonably close comparison can also be made with the Irish Republic where a Census was taken in 1951 concurrently with that of Northern Ireland but the enumeration in 1961 was a fortnight earlier than in Northern Ireland. Between the 1951 and 1961 xxv Censuses the population of the Republic fell from 2,960,593 to 2,818,341, i.e. a decrease of 142,252 persons or 4.8 per cent. Based on the 1961 figures, the popula tion of Northern Ireland formed 33.6 per cent of the total population of Ireland.
Natural Increase and Migration: The natural increase of the population, i.e. the excess of births over deaths, during each complete intercensal period since birth and death registration commenced in 1864 is shown for Northern Ireland in Table I, together with the actual variations in population and the net losses by migration. Figures for each county and county borough in respect of the last inter censal period are given in Table 3.

From the beginning of the present century to the second world war, the birth and death rates in Northern Ireland gradually decreased; with the relative fall in the death rate slightly greater than that in the birth rate, the excess of births over deaths tended to decline. This trend was halted in the intercensal period 1937-51 whei due to an upward swing in the birth rate during the war and immediate post-war years and a continuing reduction in the death'rate, the annual natural increase averaged 11,232 persons compared with annual averages of 7,439 and 7,895 in the periods 1926- 37 and 1901-11, respectively.
During the first half of the 1951-61 intercensal period the birth rate was appreciably below the war-time peak; but it rose again each year from 1956 to 1960, . the number of births registered in 1960 being the highest for forty years. Apart from seasonal fluctuations, the death rate was fairly constant at about one-sixth below the average for the previous period. The net outcome was a natural increase of 146,349; this represented an annual average of 14,575 persons, which was almost 30 per cent above the 1937-51 average and higher than the average for any intercensal period since birth and death statistics became available.
Migration statistics, as such, are not obtainable from the Census results, but the net movement of population out of the country as a whole during the intercensal period may be deduced by subtracting the actual population increase from the natural increase. On that basis, the net loss in Northern Ireland between the 1951 and 1961 Censuses amounted to 92,228 persons, which was proportionately the greatest for any period since 1891. In terms of annual averages, the 1951-61 net outward movement was 9,185 persons, compared with 4,768 in 1937-51 which, as previously mentioned, include* the war years when migration abroad was largely suspended, and 5,306 in 1926-37 which included a period, during the world-wide economic depression of the early 1930fs, when the balance of migration was inward.
The migration figures for each county and county borough given in Table 3 represent the net result of movements during the 1951-61 period not only as between a particular county or county borough and countries outside Northern Ireland but also as between the county or county borough and similar administrative divisions of
XXVI Northern Ireland. The extent and direction of either type of movement are not revealed. The general pattern, however, follows that of the previous intercensal period, viz. net movement into Counties Antrim and Down and outwards from the other divisions.
Intercensal Estimates: The population at the middle of each year is estimated for various purposes including the calculation of marriage, birth and death rates. Briefly, such estimates are compiled by taking the population figures of the preced ing Census and adjusting th^rn to have regard to the numbers of births and deaths subsequently registered and the assessed migration.

XXVII Counties and County Boroughs: Although Northern Ireland as a whole has had an increased population at each Census since 1901, Londonderry County Borough was the only main administrative division of the country with a similar pattern of change. The population of County Down declined in 1911 but increased at each subsequent Census. Those of Counties Antrim and Londonderry declined in both 1911 and 1926 but then increased at each Census thereafter. In Armagh and Tyrone, the first population increase since the turn of the century was not recorded until 1951; in Fermanagh the decline has persisted into the 1951-61 period. The largest population increases in the counties during the 1951-61 period were in Antrim + 42,756 persons or 18.5 per cent and in Down + 25,758 persons or 10.7 per cent. With 273,905 persons, or just over 19 per cent of the Northern Ireland total, County Antrim had a greater population than any other county, a position previously held by County Down.
The decrease in the county population in the early part of the present century was more than offset by the growth of population in Belfast County Borough. Such growth, while much less rapid than during the second half of the nineteenth century, still accounted for an additional 65,971 persons in the County Borough between 1901 and 1926. Further increases of 22,935 and 5,585 at the 1937 and 1951 Censuses, res pectively, were followed by a decrease of 27,815 persons or 6.3 per cent in 1961. This decline, which was the first recorded and which reduced the population within the legal perimeter of Belfast to close on the 1926 Census figure, should however be viewed against the background of the increased population of the Cityfs immediate environs in the Counties of Antrim and Down. In 1951, the area then regarded as comprising the built-up localities extending from the County Borough boundary covered 12,586 acres and contained 54,424 persons; by 1961, the corresponding area, including the new town of Newtownabbey, had increased to 17,592 acres with a population of 112,844. Put another way, concurrently with the population decrease of 27,815 in Belfast County Borough during the ten years 1951-61, the urbanised area centred on the City had expanded and its population had risen from the figure of 498,095 quoted in the General Report on the 1951 Census to 528,700 in 1961. It is not known how much of the increase of 58,420 persons in the environs portion of the area was due directly to the movement of persons from the County Borough itself, but the extent must have been considerable.

XXVIII Administrative Areas of County: Table IV lists separately the administrative urban and rural districts according to the proportionate changes in their populations between 1951 and 1961, the 1951 population figures being adjusted where appropriate to take account of boundary changes during the intercensal period.
The population of the area constituting Newtownabbey Urban District (created in 1958) increased by 17,233 or 85.2 per cent to a total of 37,448 persons, the latter being the highest 1961 total/for any administrative urban area after Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs/ A further five areas, viz. Limavady Urban District, Lame Municipal Borough arid Holywood, Newcastle and Omagh Urban Districts in that order had increases varying between 36 per cent and 20 per cent. At the other end of the scale, in addition to the 6.3 per cent decline in Belfast County Borough, four urban districts showed population decreases of the following proportions:- Donaghadee - 5.3 per cent, Newry -/6. 3 per cent, Tandragee -8.1 per cent and Dromore - 11.1 per cent. In point of population, Tandragee Urban District with a total of only 1,281 persons in 1961 was the smallest of the administrative urban areas.
Of the 31 administrative rural areas, 15 had increased populations in 1961. Castlereagh and L^sburn Rural Districts, which adjoin Belfast County Borough, showed increases of no less than 82.9 per cent and 50.5 per cent, respectively. The next largest relative increase was of 13.2 per cent in Hillsborough Rural District which also touches oti the County Borough. Each of the remaining 16 rural districts had smaller populations than in 1951, the relative decreases being greatest at 7.6 per cent in Bailycastle, 9.0 per cent in Lisnaskea and 10.0 per cent in Castlederg Rural Districts. Individually, the 1961 populations of the administrative rural areas ranged from 51,127 persons in Lisburn Rural District to 3,211 persons in Tanderagee Rural District.
Towns of Undefined Boundary: Table 4 includes figures of population, dwellings, etc. for 20 identifiable towns each with a 1961 population of 1,000 or more persons but having no legally defined boundary. Three of the towns (Comber, Greenisland and Bessbrook) had populations between 3,000'and 4,000, and two (Magherafelt and Bally- nahinch) had populations in excess of 2,000. Corresponding particulars are not available in respect of a number of former towns, situated in the Belfast environs, which at previous Censuses had populations of 1,000 or more; such towns have since lost their separate identities by being absorbed in the new urban district of Newtownabbey or in the general spread of housing from the County Borough boundary.
Urban and Rural Aggregates: Table V shows the changes in the numbers of administrative urban and rural areas at each Census since 1901, together with the variations in populations of the two types of areas. The figures relate to the position at each Census date and are therefore unadjusted in respect of any subse quent alterations in area types or boundaries.

It will be seen that between 1901 and 1961 the population enumerated in admini strative urban areas increased at every Census and by almost 50 per cent in the aggregate. In the administrative rural areas the population decreased between 1901 and 1937 but increased at both the 1951 and 1961 Censuses, resulting in a net decline of 7.3 per cent. This growth in urban population reflects not only the creation of
XXIX new and the enlargement of existing administrative urban areas but also the differ ences in the rates of natural increase in individual urban and rural areas and the net movement of persons within the country and between Northern Ireland and other countries. Over the 60 years period, the proportion of the administrative urban area population to the total population rose from 42.9 per cent to 54.0 per cent, mostly in the first half of the period.
With the extensive post-war housing development, the majority of the adminis trative rural districts now contain, in varying degree, more and larger towns of undefined boundary and other population clusters which are urban in character. Table VI has therefore been drawn up to give a more realistic urban/rural distribu tion than is afforded by the analysis on a, solely administrative area basis. While the latter, as indicated in Table V, shows that 770,001 persons, or 54 ;per cent of the total 1961 population, were in administrative urban areas, there were actually some 950,000 persons or approximately two-thirds of the total living in urbanised communities.

Comparing the 1951 and 1961 enumerations, the administrative urban area popu lation increased by 5.7 per cent, and the population in the wider field of urbanised communities increased by 12.0 per cent. On the same basis, the population in administrative rural districts increased by 1.9 per cent whereas the number of persons in the purely rural areas (i.e. excluding any urbanised communities) decreased by 9.2 per cent.
Parliamentary Constituencies: The constituent divisions for the purpose of elections to the Parliaments of both Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom are set out in Table 10 together with figures of population, the number of electors and the ratio of electors per 1,000 population in each constituency/ In the country as a whole, the number of electors with residence qualification^ for Northern Ireland elections represented 99.4 per cent of the total populatic/n aged 21 years and over. The corresponding proportion for United Kingdom elections was virtually 100 per cent.
PRIVATE DWELLINGS AND HOUSFHfiLDS
Total Dwellings: In 1961 there were 387,315 private dwellings of which 369,488 were inhabited and 17,827 were uninhabited. This Ivas an increase of 44,127 dwellings or 12.9 per cent on the corresponding 1951 total of 343,188 (inhabited 329,050; uninhabited 14,138). The intercensal variations in respect of the main territorial divisions are set out in Table VII.

* As constituted at the date of the 1961 Census.
Each county and county borough had more private dwellings than in 1951, the increases being greatest at 15,414 (25.8 per cent) in County Antrim and 11,432 (17.6 per cent) in County Down. Londonderry County Borough, with an increase of 1,813 dwellings or 19.0 per cent, was the only other main territorial ditision with a pro portionate increase above that for Northern Ireland as a whole. The smallest increases, actual and relative, were 1,642 (5.1 per cent) and 235 (1.8 per cent) in Counties Tyrone and Fermanagh, respectively. In the administrative urban areas, the total number of dwellings increased by 28,683 or 15.6 per cent, the corresponding parti culars for the aggregate of the rural districts being + 15,444 dwellings or 9.7 per cent.
The number of uninhabited dwellings represented 4.6 per cent of the total dwellings compared with 4.1 per cent in 1951. The 1961 proportions were 2.6 per cent in Belfast and 2.0 per cent in Londonderry County Boroughs, but ranged in the counties from 6.6 per cent in Down to 4.9 per cent in Antrim. On average, the per centage of uninhabited to total dwellings was 3.3 per cent in urban areas as against 6.1 per cent in the rural districts. It should be noted that dwellings returned as uninhabited included an unspecified number of homes from which the usual occupants were merely temporarily away on Census night in addition to vacant houses and, particularly in seaside areas, dwellings of the casual or summer residence type.
According to statistics furnished by the Ministry of Health and Local Government, approximately 66,800 new'units of dwelling accommodation were provided in Northern Ireland during the intercensal period. When this figure is compared with the Census increase of 44,127 in the total inhabited and uninhabited dwellings, it follows that some 22,700 dwellings returned as such in 1951 either had ceased to exist at the 1961 Census or were no longer used for private dwelling purposes. In partial explanation of this apparent loss of dwellings it is estimated, on the basis of such information as is readily available, that during the ten years between the Censuses at least 6,500 farmhouses ceased to be used as dwelling accommodation or became derelict, and that upwards of 7,500 other dwellings including dwellings attached to shops were converted for business use or otherwise ceased to be available for dwelling purposes or became derelict. A further 3,200, including temporary hutments and prefabricated bungalows, were officially recorded as having been demolished or closed.
Inhabited Dwellings: Table 5 gives, in respect of Northern Ireland and the urban and rural area aggregates, an analysis of inhabited private dwellings by the type and tenure of the accommodation, the number of rooms and persons therein. The more salient particulars for each county and county borough are also given. Excluding XXXI information on type and tenure of accommodation which was collected for the first time in 1961 and which is dealt with in later paragraphs, the Northern Ireland figures are summarised in Table VIII and compared with figures at previous Censuses.

In 1961 there were 369,488 inhabited private dwellings, which was 40,438 dwellings or 12. 3 per cent more than in 1951 and some 40 per cent above the 1926 total. During the last intercensal period, the population in private dwellings increased by 57,591 persons or 4.4 per cent compared with the 12. 3 per cent increase in inhabited dwellings. With a higher average number of rooms per dwelling in 1961, there were, therefore, reductions in the average numbers of persons per dwelling and per room, thus continuing the trend at previous Censuses. At 3.73 persons per dwelling and 0.80 persons per room, the 1961 average densities were approximately one-fifth less than the corresponding 1926 averages.
Shared dwellings, i.e. those containing more than one household, also decreased significantly, representing 0.6 per cent of the total inhabited dwellings compared with 1.9 per cent in 1951 and 3.4 per cent in 1926. The average proportion of dwel lings shared was 0.9 per cent in urban areas, the percentages' for Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs being 0.9 and 4. 5 respectively; the average in the rural districts was 0.2 per cent. The number of shared dwellings with less than four rooms each was only 88, as against 388 in 1951 and 900 in 1926.
Between 1951 and 1961, the number of inhabited dwellings with less than four rooms decreased by 5,716 and their proportion to the total dropped from 22.8 per cent to 18.8 per cent. Dwellings with 4-5 rooms increased by 38,742 and formed 60.3 per cent of the total compared with 56.0 per cent in 1951 4nd 44.8 per cent in 1926. Although the number of dwellings with six or more ropms also increased, their pro portion fell marginally to 20.9 p6r cent.
The percentages of inhabited dwellings by room categories, together with average population densities per dwelling and per room,/ are shown in Table IX for each county and county borough and the urban and rural area aggregates.

It will be seen that the proportion of 1-2 roomed dwellings to total dwellings was lowest in the two County Boroughs and highest in Counties Londonderry and Tyrone. At 8.3 per cent, the average for the rural districts was more than four times the proportion in the urban areas as a whole, the probable reason for ithis being the number of small farmhouses in remote country districts and the greater use of caravans and other movable and temporary habitations in the rural than in the urban areas. Relatively, the rural districts also had considerably more three-roomed dwellings and slightly more dwellings with six or more rooms. As for the main category of 4-5 roomed dwellings, the proportion to total dwellings varied between 68. 6 per cent in London derry County Borough and 43.5 per cent in Fermanagh, with an average of 65.8 per cent in the urban areas compared with 53.5 per cent in the rural districts.
In terms of persons per dwelling and per room, the population densities in Belfast County Borough and its adjoining Counties of Antrim and Down were appreciably below those in Londonderry County and County Borough and County Tyrone. In particular, the figures for the two County Boroughs provided a marked contrast; the densities in Belfast averaged 3.52 persons per dwelling and 0.76 persons per room, whereas in Londonderry,' which had a comparatively high proportion of shared dwellings, the averages reached 4.63 persons per dwelling and 0.99 persons per room. Generally, the densities in the urftan areas were lower than in the rural districts.
Type and Tenure of Inhabited Dwellings: Of the 368,250 inhabited permanent dwellings, 317,448 or 86.. 2 per cent were classified as dwelling houses. Of the latter, approximately 36 per cent were owner occupied, 23 per cent were rented from local or public authorities and 38 per cent were rented unfurnished from other landlords. Those rented furnished from other landlords accounted for one per cent, the remaining two per cent being occupied in some other way. At 9,685, the number of flats represented 2.6 per cent of the total inhabited permanent dwellings. Almost 71 per cent were rented from local or public authorities and a further 22 per cent were rented, three-quarters of them unfurnished, from other landlords. The balance of seven per cent related to flats which were owner occupied or occupied in some other way.
Farmhouses numbered 41,117 or 11.2 per cent of the total dwellings.
Table X shows by counties, county boroughs and urban and rural aggregates, the percentages of inhabited dwelling houses and flats in each main tenure category, together with the number of farmhouses. Information on the tenure of farmhouses, most of which are owner occupied, was not tabulated.

The proportion of owner occupied to total dwelling houses in the counties and county boroughs ranged from 30. 7 per cent in County Armagh to 42.7 per cent in County Down; the average in the urban areas was 33. 7 per cent, which was about one- sixth lower than in the rural districts. Dwelling houses rented from local or public authorities represented only 10.3 per cent of the total in Belfast County Borough, whereas all the other main territorial divisions showed proportions in excess of the Northern Ireland average of 22. 7 per cent. The highest was 32. 6 per cent in County Londonderry.-. Due largely to the low proportion in Belfast, the average percentage for dwelling houses rented from local or public authorities in the urban areas was 18.4 compared with 29.8 per cent for the aggregate of the rural areas. Relatively, the position was more or less reversed in the case of dwelling houses rented from other landlords. Such houses formed 55.7 per cent of the total dwelling houses in Belfast, the next highest being 37.9 per cent in County Armagh and the lowest 27.7 per cent in County Down.
Outside Counties Antrim and Down and Belfast County Borough, which together accounted for 84 per cent of the total, the numbers of flats were hardly significant enough to justify detailed comparisons. One half of the flats in Belfast and about four-fifths of those in Counties Antrim and Down were rented from local or public authorities. A further 37 per cent in the City were rented from other landlords, which was more than double the corresponding proportion in the two counties named.
The proportion of farmhouses to total permanent dwellings in the counties, including the urban areas, was about 40 per cent in Fermanagh and 30 per cent in Tyrone but only 11 per cent in Antrim and Down. In the rural districts as a whole, one in every four dwellings was a farmhouse.
The number of inhabited dwellings returned as non-permanent was 1,238 of which 1,200 were stated to be normally occupied all the y£ar round. Their classification by tenure was:- owner occupied 601; rented from local or public authorities 128; rented from other landlords - furnished 148, unfurnished 274; occupied in some other way 87. The types and location of the dwellings by counties and county boroughs were as follows:-

Private households in Northern Ireland numbered 372,793 compared with 337,581 in 1951 and 273, 668 in 1926. The latest increase of 35,212 households was equivalent to 10, 4 per cent which may be contrasted with increases of 12. 3 per cent in the number of inhabited private dwellings, 14.5 per cent in the number of rooms occupied and 4.4 per cent in the private household population. Except for a 0.6 per cent reduction in Fermanagh, there were more private households in each county and; county borough particularly in Counties Antrim and Down where the proportionate increases were 25.3 per cent and 17.1 per cent, respectively.'
The number of households in each size group from one to five persons per house hold was greater than in 1951. The largest increase was of 17,769 or 26.7 per cent in households of two persons; these now form the main individual group whereas households of three persons, which increased by 6,171 or 9.1 per cent, were the most numerous in 1951. The number of one-person households rose by 11,292 or 35.8 per cent. A decrease of 3,972 in households with six to ten persons was partly offset by an increase of 426 in households consisting of 11 or more persons. Changes in the proportion of households in each size group to the total households since 1926 were as follows.

Each county and county borough, particularly Belfast, had smaller households in 1961, the average size for Northern Ireland having fallen from 3.91 persons in 1951 to 3.70 persons in 1961. In the main territorial divisions, the 1961 averages ranged from 3.47 persons in Belfast County Borough and 3.59 in County Down to just over four persons in Counties Londonderry and Tyrone and 4.34 in Londonderry County Borough. In the rural districts as a whole, the average was approximately nine per cent above that in the urban areas. The continuous downward trend during the last three inter- censal periods is indicated below.

The much greater reduction in the average size of households in the urban as compared with the rural areas will be noted.
Calculations based on the data in Table 8, dealing with the socio-economic groups of household heads, and the corresponding Table in the County Reports enable a general comparison to be made of the average sizes of households by tenure of the accommodation occupied.

Although their numbers increased by some 9,600 during the last intercensal period, the proportion of households in four rooms fell slightly; at 33.7 per cent of the total households, however, they were still the largest group. Households occupying five rooms increased by over 30,000 and their proportion rose from 20.0 per cent to 26. 2 per cent, the latter being more than double the percentage in 1926. Those in 1-2 rooms again decreased significantly from 33,302 to 20,780, their pro portion to the total having declined from 9. 9 per cent to 5.6 per cent compared with 17.9 per cent in 1926. The 1951-61 reduction in the number of households occupying 1-2 rooms was general throughout Northern Ireland and was relatively greatest at over fifty per cent in Belfast County Borough.
Households of two persons, three persons and four persons, in that order, all occupying four rooms were the most numerous in 1961, compared with households of three persons, four persons and two persons respectively, also all in four rooms, in 1951. The fourth largest group was the two-persons households occupying five rooms, a position held in 1951 by the five-persons households in four rooms. In 1951, approxi mately 28 per cent of the one-person households occupied 1-2 rooms and 52 per cent were in four or more rooms; by 1961 the percentage occupying 1-2 rooms had fallen to under 18 with an almost corresponding increase in the proportion in four or more rooms. No compelling reasons can be given for an increase of close on 10,000 in the number of one-person*households occupying four or more rooms; a part explanation may be the greater availability of new houses and the movement thereto of married persons from dwellings which have since been occupied by, say, only one parent or other relative or a former landlady.
Table XIII shows, for each county, county borough and the urban and rural aggregates, the 1961 relative distribution of households by rooms occupied, together with the percentages of households and population living at a density of over two persons per room. (Such a density has been chosen to provide a convenient comparison with information published at previous Censuses and not as a measure or definition of overcrowding. Data for a limited sub-division of a density of two or less persons per room are given in Table 6; figures for almost any required density can be arrived at from the details in the Table.) In general, the distribution of households by rooms occupied was similar to that of dwellings by rooms therein. The main exceptions were in Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs where 2.4 per cent and 10.6 per cent, respectively, of the households shared accommodation with other households compared with averages of 0.6 per cent for the remainder of Northern Ireland and 1.4 per cent for the country as a whole. Consequently, the proportion of households occupying 1-2 rooms in the two County Boroughs was noticeably greater than the proportion of dwellings containing 1-2 rooms.

* Figures relate to areas as existing at the 1951 Census
The number of households consisting of three or more persons living in a single room decreased from 2,073 in 1951 to 595 in 1961, the improvement being more marked in the urban than in the rural areas.
Households accommodated at a density of over two persons per room numbered 13,527, which represented 3.7 per cent of the total households compared with 6.0 per cent in 1951 and 10. 6 per cent in 1926. In the counties and county boroughs, the 1961 proportions varied between 2.4 per cent in Antrim and Down and 7.3 per cent in County Londonderry, with urban and rural average percentages of 2.6 and 5.0, respec tively. Households at a density of 1^-2 persons inclusive per room accounted for 9.8 per cent of the total households; those at one and over but under 1^- persons per room formed 25.2 per cent of the total. Some 61 per cent of all households were accommodated at a density of less than one person per room as against 53 per cent in 1951 and 42 per cent in 1926.
There were 117,752 persons residing at over two per room, which was a 25 per cent reduction on the number at the previous Census. They represented 8. 5 per cent of the total private household population compared with 11.9 per cent in 1951 and 18. 2 per cent in 1926. Except for Londonderry County Borough where the reduction in actual numbers was only 18, each county and county borough had considerably fewer persons at over two per room, and all of them showed lower proportions at such a density than in 1951. Londonderry County again returned the highest proportion of 15.3 per cent (21. 5 per cent in 1951); Counties Antrim and Down had less than six per cent. On average, the proportion in the rural districts was more than 70 per cent above that in the urban areas.
Persons living at densities of lJ-'2 persons and one and over but under 1^- persons per room accounted for 17.0 per cent and 31.4 per cent, respectively, of the total private household population. In the under one person per room category, the percentage was 43.1 for Northern Ireland as a whole, with variations between 48.6 in County Down and 27.4 in Londonderry County Borough.
Household Arrangements: Table 7 shows, in respect of the arrangements on which information was sought in the Census return, the extent to which private households had access to such arrangements and whether they had exclusive use of the arrange ments or shared them with other households. The information relates to Northern
XXXVIII Ireland and the urban and rural aggregates and is analysed by the number of house holds per dwelling and the tenure and type of accommodation occupied. Summaries of the relative availability of each arrangement in the counties and county boroughs are also given.
Of the total private households, 48.4 per cent had exclusive use of all six arrangements,.0.2 per cent shared all of them and 5.4 per cent had none of them. Some 57 per cent of the hou$4holds with none of the arrangements were in owner- occupied dwellings, eight |fer cent occupied accommodation rented from local or public authorities and 31 per cent rented their accommodation unfurnished from other landlords. Slightly less than two-thirds of the households without any of the arrangements occupied dwelling houses; most of the remainder were in farmhouses. / The individual ^brangements available most were a cooking stove or range of which 90, 6 per cent pt all households had sole or shared use, a kitchen sink 82.1 per cent, a cold water tap 80. 7. per cent and a water closet 77.4 per cent. Those least available werfe a hot water tap and a fixed bath; 167,404 households or 44.9 per cent of the total had no hot water tap and 182,578 or 49.0 per cent lacked a fixed bath. I

Table XIV shows the numbers of households, expressed as percentages of the total households, which had use (sole or shared) of the various arrangements according to .the tenure and type of. accommodation occupied. Households in accommodation provided by local or public authorities had relatively the greatest availability of arrange ments; for example, 72.8 per cent of such households had use of all six arrangements compared with 54.9 per cent for households in owner-occupied accommodation and 25.3 per cent for households in accommodation rented unfurnished from private landlords. As regards the availability of arrangements according to the "type of accommodation occupied, households in flats (the majority of which were owned by local or public authorities) generally fared better than households in dwelling houses; the latter, in turn, had a much greater average availability of arrangements than households occupying farmhouses.

While virtually every household in Belfast County Borough had use of a cold water tap, water closet, kitchen sink and cooking stove or range, relatively fewer of them had a hot water tap and fixed bath than was the case in Counties Antrim and Down. These two Counties had the highest proportions of households (58 per Cent in Antrim and 55 per cent in Down) with use of all six arrangements. More than half of the house holds in Fermanagh were without a cold water tap, roughly two-thirds lacked a hot water tap or water closet and three-quarters had no fixed bath. Generally, the position was not very much better in County Tyrone where the relative availability of each arrangement was less than the corresponding average in the combined rural districts of Northern Ireland. As expected, the average availability of arrangements in the rural districts, particularly as regards cold water taps and water closets, was considerably below that in the urban areas.
Household Socio-economic Groups: Table 8 gives an analysis, by the socio-economic group of the head of household, of the numbers of private households and persons therein according to the tenure of the accommodation and the number of rooms occupied by the household. Except for that relating to rooms, the information is summarised in Table XVI to provide a convenient comparison between the main groups. A brief defini tion of each socio-economic group is given in Part II of the report.

Total 372,793 1,378,454 3.70 41.6 ^..3 35.3 1.8
Approximately 94 per cent of the heads of households who were farmers (S. E.GTs 13 and 14) and 68 per cent of employers and managers (S.E.G's 1 and £) owned their accommodation, compared with some 21 per cent of personal service workers (S.E.G. 7), semi-skilled manual workers (S.E.G. 10) and agricultural workers (S.E.G. 15) and 18 per cent of unskilled manual workers (S.E.G. 11).
Householders in accommodation rented from local or public authorities accounted for only one per cent of those in the farmersf group, s/x per cent of professional workers (S.E.G's 3 and 4) and nine per cent of employers and managers. Excluding S.E.G. 16, the proportion was highest at about 31 per cent in the cases of skilled manual workers (S.E.G. 9), unskilled manual workers and agricultural workers. In the category of householders who rented their accommodation from other landlords, the proportions ranged from 50 per cent for personal service and unskilled manual workers to 17 per cent for professional workers and an average of less than four per cent for farmers. XL Households in accommodation occupied in some other way represented only 1.8 per cent of the total households. The proportion for each socio-economic group was also small except in the professional workers* group where it reached 15 per cent ana the agricultural workers1 group with 5.7 per cent. A probable reason for the former is that the professional workers' grpup includes clergymen, many of whom occupied rent- free accommodation provided by their church authorities; similarly, the agricultural workers''group no doubt contains relatively more householders who, by virtue of their employment, lived in rent-free' dwellings than those in the remaining groups.
Table XVI also shows ^fie average sizes of households by socio-economic groups. Compared with 3.70 person^7 for all households, the averages were highest at 4.30 persons for households i;i the group consisting of farmers who were employers and managers (S.E.G. 13), 4/25 for those in the unskilled manual workers' group and 4.18 for agricultural workers. The lowest averages were 3.34 persons for households of which the heads were intermediate and junior non-manual workers (S.E.G's 5 and 6) and 2.94 for personal/ service workers. With regard to households in the residual category of "Indefinite and not applicable" where the average was only 2.83 persons, it should be mentioned that such households include those of which the heads had no occupation other t^tan that of housewife and who were accordingly excluded from the socio-economic classification; in many cases, such household heads were either widows or married women whose husbands were away on Census night.
INHABITED BUILDINGS OTHER THAN PRIVATE DWELLINGS
The numbers of inhabited buildings other than private dwellings and the popu lation therein are shown in Table 9 according to the main types of buildings and by counties and county boroughs. As pointed out in Part II of the Report, inhabited buildings returned as private dwellings were classified as boarding houses in 1951 if they contained three or more boarders, as against five or more bQarders in 1961. Also in 1951 private household accommodation in, or within the precincts of and provided in connection with, an institution or other non-private household establish ment, for example, married quarters or a gate lodge, was regarded as part of the institution or establishment; in 1961 such accommodation was treated as a private dwelling. These and other classification changes referred to in the footnotes to Table XVII should be borne in mind in any comparison of the figures for 1951 and 1961 summarised in that Table.

XLI USUAL ADDRESS
Of the total enumerated population, 7,536 persons or 0.5 per cent compared with 0.7 per cent in 1951 returned usual addresses outside Northern Ireland. The numbers of such persons enumerated in each county and county borough are given in Table 11, together with figures for adjustment of the enumerated population to take account of usual residence in a county or county borough of Northern Ireland other than that of enumeration. On adjustment, the enumerated populations of Counties Antrim and Down and Belfast County Borough decrease and those of the remaining areas increase-/ in each case, however, the adjustment is small, amounting at most to only 0. 5 per cent for County Tyrone.
The following statement sets out the numbers of persons enumerated in Northern Ireland with a usual address elsewhere in the British Isles or abroad at each of the last two Censuses.

It will be seen that, whereas 4,577 persons (1951:- 5,535) enumerated in Northe-rn Ireland were normally resident in Great Britain, 7,680 persons (1951:- 4,690) enumerated in Great Britain had a usual address in Northern Ireland.

Sex Distribution: At every Census of Northern Ireland the number of females has exceeded the number of males. The proportion of females per 1,000 males, which was highest at 1,102 in 1881, has been falling since the Census of 1901 although the decrease during the last two intercensal periods was not sig;nificant . When rounded to the nearest whole number, the proportion in 1961 was the same as in 1951, viz. , 1,053 which was the^lowest recorded.
Females were in the majority at all ages except 0-17, 21 and 23 years, the relative disparity increasing generally with increasing age. The proportions for certain age groups in 1951 and 1961 are given below.

XLIII In Northern Ireland as a whole and in the urban areas the proportion of females per 1,000 males decreased during the intercensal period for every age group shown except 65 years and over where the proportion increased by more than ten per cent. In the aggregate of the rural districts, where as previously males exceeded females parti cularly in the groups under 24 years, the proportion of females per 1,000 males for all ages increased slightly from 970 in 1951 to 975 in 1961, with increases in the proportions for the age groups 15-24 and 25-44 years as well as in the group 65 years and over. The preponderance of females at the higher ages was still much less pronounced than in the urban areas.
As in 1951, the proportion of females per -1,000 males was greatest at 1,123 in Londonderry County Borough followed closely by 1,120 in Belfast. The proportions in the three counties in which males exceeded females were Londonderry 989, Tyrone 966 and Fermanagh 917, the two last-named being counties from which migration has usually been relatively high.
Ages: The average age of the population of Northern Ireland increased at each Census since 1881 as follows:-
Persons Males Females
1881 28.0 27.4 28.4 1891 28.7 28.1 29.3 1901 28.9 28.3 — 29. 5 1911 30.1 29.4 30.7 1926 30. 6 30.0 31.3 1937 31.9 31.2 32.5 1951 32.5 31.6 33.4 1961 32.8 31.6 33.9
Over the eighty years period, the average age of males increased by 4.2 years and of females by 5.5 years, the female average in 1961 being 2.3 years above that for males.
In the main territorial divisions, the average ages of the population from 1911 were: 1911 1926 1937 1951 1961
Antrim 30.0 30.6 32.4 32.6 32.1 Armagh 30.7 31.0 32.4 32.5 32.3 Belfast C.B. 26.7 28. 5 30.7 32.5 33.9 Down 30.3 30.7 33.0 33.3 33.5 Fermanagh 32.5 32.0 33.6 33.7 33.4 Londonderry- Co. and C.B. 30.7 30.1 31.2 31.0 30.7 Tyrone 32.4 31.7 32.8 32.3 31.9
Between 1951 and 1961, the average increased by 0.2 in County Downand 1.4 in Belfast County Borough; elsewhere the average declined, the maximum decrease being i> year in County Antrim. Belfast County Borough, which had the lowest average of 26.7 at . the 1911 Census, had the highest at 33.9 in 1961, i.e. an increase of 7. 2 years during a period of fifty years; Londonderry County and County/Borough combined hacjL the lowest 1961 average of 30.7 which was the same as in 1911; Tyrone was the only county where the average age of the population was less than that of fifty years ago.
Compared with the position at the 1951 Census, there v^re more persons in each quinquennial age group except in the range 20-44 years in particular and to a small extent from 70 to 79 years. The largest increases were of/21,482 persons (males 11,226; females 10,256) or 19.2 per cent in the group 10/-14 years and 11,740 persons (males 4,846; females 6,894) or 10.8 per cent in the girbup 15-19 years. These increases reflect the high birth rate during the latter part of the 1939-45 war and the early post-war years. Altogether, the number of young persons under 20 years of age rose by 45,137 or some 83 per cent of the net increase in population at all ages.
The following statement sets out the changes since 1951 on a limited age group basis:-

The substantial decrease in the numbers of males and females aged 20-44 will be noted. The main reasons appear to be: firstly, there were some 43,000 fewer births during the years 191/^-41 as compared with the years 1907-31, with the result that, in the natural ordef, there were fewer persons to attain the ages of 20-44 at the 1961 Census than i^'1951. Second, emigration (which was much heavier than during the previous intercen^al period) is usually high in the age group 20-29, and it was in this group that almost two-thirds of the total decrease at ages 20-44 occurred. The decline in the papulation aged 20-44 in Northern Ireland was relatively greater than in England and,/feles but less than in Scotland and the Irish Republic, the percentage decreases during the last intercensal period being:-
Persons Males Females % % Northern Ireland - 7.0 - 6.1 - 7.8 England and Wales - 6. 2 - 4.7 - 7.7 Scotland - 9.2 - 8.7 i- 9.7 Irish Republic - 18.5 - 20.8 - 16.1
In the age group 16-44 years, which approximates closely to the child-bearing age of women.above the minimum age of marriage, the number of females decreased by 13,524 or 4.7 per cent of the 1951 total; the number of married women of the same age group, however, rose by 7,250 or 4.9 per cent.
At ages 15-64 from which the bulk of the working population comes, there was a net increase of 11,858 persons. With an increase of 11,740 persons in the age group 15-19, the decrease in the group 20-44 was, therefore, little more than offset by the increase at ages 45-64 years. Compared with the 3. 9 per cent rise in total population, the increase in persons aged 15-64 represented only 1.4 per cent. The percentages for the main countries of the British Isles were:-

Northern Ireland + 3.9 + 1.4 England and Wales + 5.4 + 2. 7 Scotland + 1.6 - 1.3 Irish Republic - 4.8 - 9. 1
At ages 65 years and upwards there were 8,866 persons, mostly females, or 6.6 per cent more than in 1951. Within the range 70-79 there was a decrease of 2,374 males, probably still reflecting losses in the 1914-18 war, which reduced the total increase in males aged 65 and over to only 506.
Twenty-two persons (5 widowers and 17 widows) were returned as aged 100 and over in 1961, compared with 13 persons (l bachelor, 3 widowers, 1 spinster and 8 widows) at the 1951 Census.
XLV The changed pattern of the percentage distribution of the population by four age groups since 1901 is indicated in Table XIX\

Due to the higher number of births from 1942 onwards, the proportion of young persons under 15 years to total population, which had declined for more than a century, increased at both the 1951 and 1961 Censuses. As such young persons grow older, the marked decline in the proportion for the group 15-44 years at each of the last two Censuses should be halted by 1971 unless there is an upsurge in emigration. On the other hand, the proportion for the group aged 45-64, which has generally risen in the past, is likely to decrease as the survivors of the greatly reduced population at ages 20-44 years in 1961 pass into the 45-64 group..
The age distributions of the administrative urban and rural populations are compared on a percentage basis in the following statement:-
Year 0-14 years 15-44 years 45-64 years 65 years and over
Urban 29.1 47.4 17. 7 5.8 1926 [ Rural 28.9 41.1 19.5 10.5

( Urban 27.9 39.9 ,22. 4 9.8 1961 [ Rural 30.2 38.8 / 20.6 10.4
It will be seen that, since 1937, the proportion for persons under 15 years rose to a greater extent in the rural districts than in the urb^n areas, and that the propor tion for those aged 65 and over increased steadily i"n the urban areas at each Census since 1926 but declined in the rural districts in .both 1951 and 1961.
Misstatement of Ages: In the interests of accuracy the 1961 Census returns, like those on the three previous occasions, required age to be entered in years and months.
XLVI In particular, it was hoped to minimize the inherent tendency for certain ages to be rounded ulp or down to the nearest whole number ending in 0. The 1951 General Report pointed out that, in this respect, the position had improved considerably on that at previous enumerations. A comparison of Table 12 with its 1951 counterpart shows that, while a varying degree of unnatural concentration at most ages ending in 0 from 30 to 80 years is still apparent, there has been a further improvement except at age 70. • Overloadings also at ages 45 arid 65 at the last Census were not evident in 1961. Where unnatural concentration at certain ages exists, the distortion appears to be generally more pronounced iri the case of females than of males. For most purposes, the effects of such distortion can be minimized by aggregating the figures for individual years of age ^hto suitable quinary or denary groups. / Marital Condition/ Compared with an increase during the last intercensal period of 17,742 (6,676 male^ and 11,066 females) or 1.8 per cent in the total population aged 16 years (the statutory minimum age of marriage) and over, single persons of marriageable age were fewer by 35,042 (16,797 males and 18,245 females) or 9.3 per cent. The number of married persons rose by 51,430 (26,770 males and 24,660 females) or 10.1 per cent. Widowers decreased by 3,370 (- 14.6 per cent) whilst the number of widows rose by 4,324 (+ 7.3 per cent). Of divorced persons who had not remarried, males increased from 465 to 538 and females from 838 to 1,165. The percentage distribution of/the population aged 16 and over by marital condition at each Census from 1926 was ds follows: -
1926 1937 1951 1961 Males Females Males Females Males Females Males Females Single 47.4 44.8 46.0 43.2 40.7 36.8 36.5 32.5 Married 46.6 43.3 48.2 45.4 54.2 51.3 59.2 55.0 Widowed 6.0 11."9 5.8 11.4 5.0 . 11.7 4.2 12.3 Divorced 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2 As well as the substantial increase in the proportion for married persons of both sexes, there has been a gradual decline in the percentage for widowers from 6.0 to 4.2 with the proportion for widows remaining fairly constant at about 12 per cent.
The distribution by marital condition of the total Northern Ireland population at all ages in 1961 is compared below, on a percentage basis, with that in the other parts of the British Isles.

There were more married women than men in each quinquennial age group up to 49 years; thereafter married males predominated. The proportions of married persons to total persons of each sex by age groups at the last three Censuses are given below. Percentage married

XL VII Except for females aged 75 and over, the proportion of males and females who were married has risen in each age group shown, the\increases being relatively greatest at the lower ages. Since 1948, when sufficient details on age at marriage became available to enable averages to be calculated, the average age of males on marriage fell from 30.4 years to 28.1 years in 1961 and to 27.6 by 1963.; The comparable averages for females were:- 26.8 in 1948, 25.1 in 1961 and 24.6 in 1963. The averages relate to all persons married, including persons who remarried, where the- marriages were registered during the calendar year.
Table 13 gives an analysis of the population by sex, religion, age group and marital condition. The relative distribution of persons aged 16 and over by marital condition and the proportion of married persons at various age groups are shown for each sex and religion in Table XX.

The proportion of Roman Catholics aged 16 and over who were single was consider ably higher than that for any of the other main religion groups. The percentages for single Roman Catholics were males 44.3 and females 39.5 as against averages of 32.9 and 29.3, respectively, for the combined other denominations.
As will be seen from the lower part of Table XX, the smaller proportion of married persons among Roman Catholics compared with the other main denominations applied in varying degree at every age group covered by the Table. At the younger age groups, the differences between the proportions for Roman Catholics and all others were greater among females than males; from about age 30 years/upwards, the disparity in the case of females was less pronounced and generally diminished with increasing age. For all denominations the highest proportion of married/trial es was in the age group 45-54 years, whereas the groups with the highest proportions of married females were 35-44 years for Roman Catholics and Presbyterians, 30-34 years for members of the Church of Ireland and Methodists and 30-44 years for the remaining and not stated denominations.
The numbers of married couples enumerated together by quinquennial age groups of husbands and wives are shown in Table 14. As at the three previous Censuses, husbands under about 25 years of age tended to be somewhat younger than their wives, whereas
XLVIII husbands of that age and Over were, on average, older than their wives and such seniority increased at the higher age groups of the husbands. For example, wives with husbands aged 40-44 averaged" approximately three years younger than their husbands, those with husbands aged 65-69 were five years younger and those with husbands aged 85 and over were 13 years junior to their husbands. These differences in the cases of wives with husbands in the age groups 40-44 and 85 and over were the same as at the last Census; for those with husbands aged 65-69, the difference in their average ages was six years in 1951
BIRTHPLACE AND NATIONALITY
Table 15 shows the' population of Northern Ireland by sex and place of birth. Of the 1,425,042 persons/enumerated, almost 91 per cent returned a birthplace in Northern Ireland. Thq/se born outside Northern Ireland numbered 128,096 (59,014 males and 69,082 females) As against 132,966 in 1951, a decrease of 3.7 per cent. At 43,415, the number 6f persons born in England and Wales increased by seven per cent during the interce^sal period, but the 19,487 persons born in Scotland represented a decrease of nine jyer cent and those born in the Irish Republic decreased by 13 per cent to 53,124 of whom more than three-fifths were females. Persons born outside the British Isles totalled 11,776 which was 19 per cent more than in 1951.
Changes in the general pattern at each Census since 1861 are outlined on a percentage basis in Table XXI.

During the past sixty years, the proportion of the population actually born in Northern Ireland has not varied much from an average of about 91 per cent. Apart from a minor reverse in 1937, the percentage for persons born in England and Wales has increased at each Census, while that for persons born in Scotland has latterly declined, the 1961 ratio of 1.37 per cent being the lowest since 1891. As to persons born in the Irish Republic, the proportion has gradually decreased from a peak of 5.09 per .cent in 1926 to 3.75 per cent in 1961. Compared with the distribution of the total enumerated population in 1961, there was a much higher proportion of persons born in the Irish Republic enumerated in County Fermanagh and Londonderry County Borough and to a lesser extent in-Counties Armagh, Londonderry and Tyrone. County Antrim had relatively the fewest number of persons born in the Republic.
In keeping with the trend at previous Censuses, the proportion for persons born outside the British Isles again increased slightly, but such persons in 1961 still accounted for less than one per cent of the total Northern Ireland population.
XLIX The numbers of persons born outside Northern Ireland are analysed by sex, marital condition and age groups in Table 16. While their distribution by counties and county boroughs was similar to that of the population as a whole, such persons had a much higher proportion of married persons than the total population and also formed a relatively older section of the community.
Table 17 gives the numbers of persons born outside Northern Ireland by sex, place of birth and main religious groups. The figures are summarised and shown on a percentage basis in Table XXII.

Among persons born outside Northern Ireland, the proportions for Roman Catholics and Presbyterians were lower and those for the other main religious groups, particu larly Church of Ireland, were higher than the corresponding proportions which the total persons in these denominations bore to the total Northern Ireland population. The inclusion under the Church of Ireland heading of persons who returned their religion as Church of England accounts mainly for the high proportion of persons born in Great Britain who were classified as Church of Ireland. In general, persons born outside Northern Ireland did not materially influence the 1961 religious distribution of the population.
Table 18 shows the numbers of persons born outside the British Isles by sex and usual address on 23rd April, 1960, distinguishing between British or Commonwealth citizens and persons of alien nationality. Of the 11,776 persons enumerated in Northern Ireland with birthplaces outside the British Isles, 79 per cent were British or Commonwealth citizens and 19 per cent were aliens: Less than one-quarter of the persons covered by the Table who stated their usual address on 23rd April, 1960, were returned as having been domiciled outside Northern Ireland on that date.
RELIGION Table 19 shows the population in each county and county borough under^the four main religious headings and a fifth group embracing all other and not stated L denominations. Northern Ireland totals for each denomination in the last-named category with ten,or more adherents are given in a footnote to the Table. Changes in the position in the country as a whole since 1861, when a question on religion was first asked at a Census, are set out in Table XXIII.

* Including Church of England and Episcopal Church of Scotland numbering 14,834 and 46, respectively, In 1961
During the last intercensal period the number of Roman Catholics increased by 26,087 which, as was the case in the previous period, was not far short of half of the total population increase; their proportion to the total population rose from 34.4 per cent to 34. 9 per cent, the latter being the highest since the Census of 1891.
Although there were 2,898 more Presbyterians than in 1951, their proportion fell from 29.9 per cent to 29.0 per cent in continuance of the generally downward trend during the past hundred years. Persons classified as Church of Ireland (including Church of England and Episcopal Church of Scotland) were fewer by 8,445 and their percentage of the total population decreased from 25.8 to 24.2 compared with a peak of 27.0 at the 1926 and 1937 Censuses. Methodists increased by 5,226, with a marginal increase in their proportion to 5.0 per cent which was the highest yet recorded.
In the residual group of other and not stated denominations, the number of persons who returned a specific religious affiliation increased from 63,497 to 69,299; their proportion to the total population also rose from 4.6 per cent to 4.9 per cent. Persons with no stated religion increased from 5,865 to 28,418, which may tend to vitiate an accurate'comparison of the 1961 figures for some denominations with those of earlier years. This marked increase in the number of persons who did not state their religion, if any, was probably mainly due to a greater awareness in 1961 that it was not obligatory to answer the Census question on religion.
Of the smaller denominations and sects covered by the footnote to Table 19, 63 (51 in 1951) had ten or more adherents each and 88 (89 in 1951) and less than ten adherents. Numerically, the largest individual change since 1951 was an increase of 1,895 in persons returned as Baptists.
Table 20 shows the numbers of males and females in each of the main denominational categories'by individual years of age to 21 and by quinquennial groups from 20 years onwards. As previously the Roman Catholic population was the most youthful of the main denominations. For example, the proportion of Roman Catholics aged under ten years was 24. 4 per cent compared with an average of 17.0 per cent for all others; in the group 10-24 years the proportions were Roman Catholics 26. 2 per cent and all others 23.4 per cent, while at age 25 and over the percentage for Roman Catholics was 49.4 as against an average of 59.6 for the others. In each of these age groups, the proportions for the individual main denominations other than Roman Catholic were similar to the averages quoted.
LI The percentages of persons by religions in certain age groups to the total population in each group at the last three Censuses are given in Table XXIV.

It will be seen that the proportions of Roman Catholics in the age groups under 25 years were greater, and those in the groups from 25 years onwards were less, than the ratio of Roman Catholics of all ages to the total population. With some exceptions in the case of Church of Ireland in 1937 and 1951, the position was reversed as re gards the corresponding proportions for the other main religious categories. A com parison of the figures for each Census shows that, in addition to^being the most youthful, the Roman Catholic population tends to have an increasing proportion of young persons in relation to the other denominations.
TERMINAL EDUCATION AGE
Table 21 shows the distribution of the population aged 15 years and over by terminal education age. Figures are given separately for the sexes and by individual years of age from 15 to 24 and age groups thereafter, together with brief summaries in respect of persons in the counties and county boroughs. As an indication of the relationship between education and occupation, the information is also analysed by Occupation Orders in Table 22. The figures in the "Not applicable" column of Table 21 relate mainly to students (16,381 males and 15,735 females); the balance (155 males and 163 females) represents persons who, through infirmity or for other reasons, were returned as never having had any full-time education.
In comparing the figures for individual age groups, regard should be had to changes which have taken place in the minimum school leaving age. Although many child ren previously remained at school until 14 years of age, attendance to that age was not compulsory until 1924 in Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs and 1926 in the remainder of the country. This accounts in some measure for the decrease in the numbers of persons who left school under 14 years of age in the Census age group 45-54 compared with the older age groups. Similarly, the raising of the school leaving age to 15 years in 1957 affected persons in the age group 15-19, thus tending to vitiate comparison between that group and the other groups. It should also be noted that the figures for the age groups 15-19 and 20-24 cover only persons whose full-time education had ceased and thus exclude considerable numbers, particularly in the 15-19 ag£ group, who were still in full-time attendance at educational establishments; 23.2 per cent of the boys' and 24.5 per cent of the girls aged 15-19 in Northern Ireland were in this excluded category. A broad comparison by sex and age groups is afforded by Table XXV which sets out the numbers of males and females at various terminal education ^tges expressed as per centages of the respective totals with stated terminal education age in each group. No appreciable differences as regards the sexes are revealed./Generally the pattern is that relatively more men than women left school at ages 14 and 15, whereas the opposite is the case at the later leaving ages except from/22 years upwards, i.e. the ages at which higher academic and professional qualifications are usually obtained through full-time study, where the percentage for males .was more than double that for females. In the counties and county boroughs the variations are small, being most apparent in the higher proportions of persons in Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs than elsewhere who finished their full-time education at under 15 years of age.

LI 11 Almost nine out of every ten males who were furnace, forge, foundry, rolling mill workers (Order V), drivers of stationary ehgines, cranes, etc. (XVII) and labourers (XVIII) had left school before 15 years of age. This also applied to more than three-quarters of the farmers, foresters, fishermen (I), textile workers (X), construction workers (XV), painters and decorators (XVI) and transport and communi cations workers (XIX). Among the largely non-manual workers, two-thirds of the clerical workers (XXI), three-quarters of administrators and managers (XXIV) and members of the armed forces (XXVI) and some 87 per cent of professional, technical workers, artists (XXV) continued their full-time education until 15 years or later. Of those in Orders XXIV and XXV, 10.6 and 47.7 per cent, respectively, had terminal education ages of 20 and over.
In the case of females, 83 per cent of textile workers (Order X) and approxi mately seven out of every ten in the farming group (I), clothing workers (XI), food, drink and tobacco workers (XII), warehousewomen, storekeepers, packers, bottlers (XX) and service, sport and recreation workers (XXIII) had terminal education ages under 15 years. On the other hand, as many as 83 per cent of clerical workers (XXI) and 90 per cent of professional, technical workers, artists (XXV) had terminal education ages of 15 and over, with 42 per cent of the females in Order XXV having remained full-time at educational establishments until at least 20 years of age.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL QUALIFICATIONS
Tables 23-26 give various analyses of persons aged 15 and over who had scientific or technological qualifications of the types and in the subjects listed in Part II of the Report. The Tables have been drawn up in a form which enables the particulars therein to be associated with corresponding data published for Great Britain. It should also be noted that information on scientific and technological qualifications was collected at the Census from persons with these qualifications irrespective of the nature of their employment, which explains why some figures in Tables 25 and 26 relate to persons who were engaged on work or in industries not normally associated with such qualifications.
The number of persons returned as having scientific or technological qualifi cations was 3,931 of whom 3,376 were males and 555 were females. This represents approximately four persons per 1,000 aged 15 and over compared with seven per 1,000 in Great Britain; the ratios for males only were:- seven per 1,000 in Northern Ireland and 14 per 1,000 in Great Britain. Table 23, which deals with Qualified persons according to the subject and type of qualification, shows that slightly more persons were qualified in science than in engineering or technology. The largest individual subject groups were mechanical engineering, civil and structural engineer ing, chemistry, electrical engineering and mathematics in that order, together accounting for two-thirds of the total. Of the persons qualified in science, 99 per cent were university graduates and only three per cent (most of whom were also university graduates) were members of professional institutions. The corresponding proportions for those qualified in engineering or technology were:- university graduates 59 per cent and members of professional institutions 69 per jeent (of whom about two-fifths were also university graduates).
Table 24 gives an analysis of qualified persons by sex, age group and subject of qualification. Approximately 43 per cent of the males were qualified in science and 57 per cent in engineering or technology. Of the 555 females, all but three were qualified in science. For most subject groups, the highest proportions of qualified persons of both sexes were in the age group 25-34 years, which reflects the increased demands of industry and research for qualified scientific and engineering staff. In this respect, the figures for persons under 25 years of age ar0 not typical in that they exclude, as compared with the higher age groups, considerably more persons who were in process of obtaining their qualifications, mainly university degrees. /' In Table 25, the numbers of qualified persons who were economically active, i.e. occupied, at Census date are analysed by subject and typ,^ of qualification for each occupation Order and, in significant cases, occupation group to which the persons were classified. Of the 3,376 males, 310 or 9. 2 per cent were economically inactive; of the latter, 132 were retired and 176 were still full-time at educational estab lishments. Two out of every five qualified females were economically inactive, being Liv mostly housewives or otherwise engaged only on home duties. In the case of economi cally active females, the last part of Table 24 discloses that 65 per cent were single and 30 per cent were married.
Some 96 per cent of the economically active persons who were qualified were classified to four occupation Orders as follows:-
I. Farmers,/foresters, fishermen 1.4% XXII. Sales workers 2.4% XXIV. Administrators and managers 12. 4% XXV. Professional, technical workers, artists 80. 2% / The proportion for eacji of the other Orders was less than 1 per cent. / In Order XXIV (Administrators and managers), one person was qualified in science to every three qualified in engineering and technology, and 56 per cent of the total were managers in engineering and allied trades, mining and other production services. Members of professional institutions represented 55 per cent of the total persons in the Order, which was high compared with an average of 39 per cent for all Orders.
Persons in/t)rder XXV (Professional, technical workers, artists) were fairly evenly divided/as between those qualified in science and those with qualifications in engineering and technology. Close on nine out of every ten persons in the former category were university and other teachers, chemists and physical and biological scientists. Civil, structural, municipal, mechanical and electrical engineers formed more than two-thirds of those qualified in engineering and technology. With the preponderance of teachers, chemists and scientists, 80 per cent of the persons in Order XXV were university graduates as against an average of 65 per cent for the remaining Orders. Three-quarters of those who were members of professional institu tions were in the three occupation groups covering the various types of engineers and the draughtsmen group.
A similar analysis is given in Table 26 to that in Table 25 but with industry in place of occupation and excluding economically active persons who were out of employ ment. The latter numbered 22 and represented 0.6 per cent of the economically active persons with qualifications in science or technology, the corresponding percentage in respect of all economically active persons, whether qualified or not, being 9.4. Professional and scientific services (industry Order XXII) provided 1,385 qualified persons or 41 per cent of the total qualified persons in employment; 1,063 of them were classified to educational services. The next largest individual Order was the construction industry (XVII) with 411 qualified persons or 12 per cent of the relevant total. The broad group of manufacturing industries (Orders III-XVI) accounted for 23 per cent of the total, compared with 39 per cent in Great Britain. Of the 789 quali fied persons in such industries, 29 per cent were engaged on aircraft manufacturing and repairing and 12 per cent on shipbuilding and marine engineering.
OCCUPATIONS AND INDUSTRIES
In comparing the economic activity information in this Report with that from earlier Censuses, it should be borne in mind that the 1961 information was collected in respect of persons aged 15 years and over, i.e. those who had reached the minimum school leaving age, whereas the corresponding lower limits adopted at the 1951 and 1926 Censuses were 14 and 12 years, respectively. Also, as mentioned in Part II of the Report, extensive changes in the occupational and industrial Classifications used for 196L Census purposes, compared with previous Classifications, militate against a detailed comparison of the 1961 figures with those of 1951 or 1926. Questions on occupations and industries were not asked at the 1937 Census.
Occupations: Table 27 gives figures of males and females aged 15 years and over, distinguishing between the occupied or economically active population (including persons temporarily out of work) and the economically inactive. The occupied popula tion figures are analysed by the full list of occupation Orders and groups and by industrial status. In Table 28, the occupied population is further analysed by sex, marital condition and age.
LV Of the 1,012,908 persons aged 15 years and over, 602, 300 pr 59.5 per cent were occupied, which was the same as the 1951 ratife based on persons aged 14 years and over. Corresponding percentages for the sexes were:- males 86.0 (86.7 in 1951) and' females 35.3 (34.5 in 1951). Restricting the 1951 figures to persons aged 15 and over, occupied males decreased marginally from 415,564 to 415; 212 but the number of occupied females rose by 9,062, or 5.1 per cent, to a total of 187,088. Changes during the intercensal period are compared by broad age groups in Table XXVII.

Due mainly to the growing emphasis on higher education, decreases took place in the proportions of males and females occupied in the age group 15-19 years and of males occupied in the group 20-24 years; the fall was substantial for males aged 15-19, viz., from 84.5 per cent to 76.5 per cent. In the age groups 25-44 and 45-64 years, the proportions for occupied persons of both sexes were higher than in 1951. The largest increase was from 24. 2 per cent to 29.3 per cent in the proportion for occupied females aged 45-64, which reflects the greater number of married women at work; in that age group, the occupied married women increased from 11,010 in 1951 to 19,397 in 1961, i.e. by more than three-quarters. At ages .65 and over, the percentage of males occupied fell from 39.4 to 27.7 and of females from 7. 5 to 5.6; the compar able proportions at the 1926 Census were:-'males 67.9 per cent and females 15.7 per cent.
The proportion of males occupied increased-from some 76 per cent in the age group 15-19 years to a peak of 99 per cent in the group 25-44, while that for occupied females declined at every age group from its maximum of close on 70 per cent at ages 15-19 years.
Of the occupied males 37.6 per cent were single, 60.3 per cent were married and 2.1 per cent were widowed and divorced, compared with 42.4, 54.7 and .2.9 per cent, respectively, of the occupied males aged 15 and over in 1951. Approximately two out of every three agricultural workers n. e.c. (occupation code 002) and shop salesmen and assistants, non-food (code 233) were single, this being the highest proportion as regards the numerically important male occupation groups. The /percentages for females were:- single 64.3 (1951 - 72.6), married 29.7 (21.3) and widowed and divorced 6.0 (6.1). In the main female occupation groups, the proportions for married women ranged from 63 per cent for charwomen, ..office cleaners, window/cleaners (code 262) to 18 per cent for typists, clerks, etc. in codes 220 and 221 and nurses (code 282) and 17 per cent for lodging house, hotel keepers, housekeepers aiya matrons (code 255).

Note:- Figures are given only for Orders showing proportions of 5 or more per l,000 occupied males or females.
Close on three-fifths of the occupied males were classified to five occupation Orders, viz. , I (Farmers, foresters, fishermen) .18.3 per cent, XVIII (Labourers n.e.c.) 12.5 per cent, VII (Engineering and allied trades workers n.e.c.) 10.4 per cent, XXII (Sales workers) 8.7 per cent and XIX (Transport and communications workers) 8.4 per cent. The largest individual occupation group was that comprising farmers, farm managers, market gardeners (code 001) with 49,207 males or 11. 9 per cent of the total occupied males, and which accounted for more than twice the numbers in either of the two next largest groups of 21,983 general labourers (code 188) and 21,316 agricultural workers (002).
In the case of occupied females, 85.7 per cent were allocated to only six Orders as follows:-
XXIII. Service, sport and recreation workers 19. 9% XXI. Clerical workers 17. 7% XI. Clothing workers 15. 9% XXII. Sales workers 11. % X. Textile workers 10. 9% XXV. Professional, technical workers, artists 10.0$
Typists, shorthand writers, clerks, etc. in the combined occupation codes 220 and 221 numbered 32,587 or 17.4 per cent of the total occupied females. The main indivi dual group, however, was those engaged in sewing and embroidering textile and light leather products (code 112) with 22,382 females. Of the 18,645 women in Order XXV (Professional, technical workers, artists), 39.9 per cent were nurses (code 282) and 41.2 per cent were teachers n.e.c. (code 287).
LVII Table 29 shows, by sexes, the numbers of part-time workers and family workers in each occupation Order and the numbers of retired persons by their former occupa tion Order. Only 3,549 males, or less than one per cent of the total occupied men, were stated to be part-time workers. Of the 14,742 part-time female workers, representing 7.9 per cent of the total occupied women, almost three-fifths were in Order XXIII (Service, sport and recreation workers). A total of 8,906 occupied persons, 7,473 males and 1,433 females, were classed as family workers, mostly working full-time. Order I (Farmers, foresters, fishermen) accounted for more than three-quarters of the male family workers, and about nine out of every ten females were clerical workers, sales workers and service, sport and recreation workers in Orders XXI-XXIII.
Retired males numbered 47,115, of whom 6. 6 per cent were under the pensionable age for males, 29.3 per cent were aged 65-69 years and 64.1 per cent were aged 70 and over. Approximately 31 per cent of them were farmers, foresters, fishermen in Order I whereas the percentage of all occupied males classified to that Order was 18. As the economically inactive males other than students and retired persons formed a mere 0.8 per cent of the total males aged 15 and over, the analyses of the occupied and retired males in Tables 28 and 29, respectively, provide a basis for calculating reasonably closely the proportion of males in (and formerly in) each occupation Order who reached pensionable age. Such proportions are compared below in respect of the main Orders.

Of the 17,375 retired females, 4.0 per cent were under the pensionable age of 60 years for women, 22.4 per cent were aged 60-64 and 73.6 per oent were aged 65 and over. Compared with the distribution of occupied women by occupation Orders, there was a much greater proportion of retired women who had been in farming (Order I) and textile workers (X) whereas the opposite was the case with those who had been clerical workers and sales workers in Orders XXI and XXII.
Social Classes and Socio-economic Groups: Table 30 gives an analysis of the population aged 15 years and over by social class, socid-economic group and age group. The social class analysis applies only to occupied and retired persons excluding members of the armed forces and persons with inadequately described occupations. In the socio-economic group section of the Table, the heading "Indefi nite" relates to persons with inadequately described occupations. The "Not LVIII applicable" heading covers students and persons economically inactive other thar institution inmates and retired persons, those in the two last-named categories being classified to the appropriate socio-economic groups.
The percentage distribution of the persons allocated to the social classes was as follows:-

Among males, farmers in S.E.G's 13 and 14 had the highest proportion, viz. an average of 27 per cent, of persons who were at least 65 years of age, and almost two-thirds of the total in these groups were 45 years and over. Next came own account workers (S. E. G. 12) with 21 per cent aged at least 65 years and 61 per cent aged 45 and over. On the other hand, nine out of every ten "of armed forces (S*E.G. 16) and more than two-thirds of personal service workers (S.E. G. 7) and skilled manual workers (S.E.G. 9) were under 45 years of age.
In the case of the numerically significant female groups, the proportion of women aged 45 years and over ranged from an average of 88 per cent for those in the farmers' groups (S.E.G's 13 and 14) to 21 per cent for intermediate and junior
LIX non-manual workers (S.E. G's 5 and 6). Some 45 per cent of the farmers were at least 65 years of age, which was more than double the corresponding proportion for most other groups.
Industries: Table 31 shows the distribution of the working population aged 15 years and over (excluding persons out of work) by sex, industry Order and Minimum List Heading. Separate figures are given for unskilled males and married females. A further distribution by sex, marital condition and age groups is shown in Table 32.
In 1961 the working population totalled 545,702 compared with 554,615 persons aged 15 and over in 1951, i.e. a decrease of 8,913 or 1.6 per cent. At 373,733 the figure for males was down by 3.2 per cent, while the female working population increased by 2.1 per cent to a total of 171,969. The numbers of males and females in the numerically important Orders in 1961 and their proportions per 1,000 of the working population of each sex are set out in Table XXX.

Note:- Figures are given only for Orders showing proportions of 5 or more per 1,000 working males or females.
Orders III to XVI, which form the broad group of manufacturing industries, accounted for 32.5 per cent of the working population, the proportions for males and females being 28.1 per cent and 42.2 per cent of the total working persons of each sex. The distributive trades (Order XX), in which there were more than three men to every two women, constituted the largest individual Order, with 77,415 persons or 14.2 per cent of the total. Agriculture, forestry, fishing (Order I), for which the figures at the last two Censuses are closely comparable, was the largest Order in 1951; but the number of persons aged 15 and over engaged therein declined from 97,902 to 71,217 and their proportion of the respective totals fell from 17.7 per cent to 13.1 per cent. The third largest Order in 1961 was textiles (X) with three females to every two males and some 52,000 persons or 9.6 per cent of the total working population. It was closely followed by the miscellaneous services Order (XXIII) in which the sexes were fairly evenly divided and which made up 9.2 per cent of the total.
It should be noted that the figures for unskilled males in Table 31 relate to males allocated to Social Class V other than those out of work. On that basis, the
LX proportion of unskilled workers in the total male working population was 12.2 per cent; the Orders with the highest proportions were:-
XIII. Bricks, pottery, glass, cement, etc. 34.4% XVIII. Gas, electricity and water 31.3$ XVII. Construction 28.2$ IV. Chemicals and allied industries 23.2$ III. Food, drink and tobacco 22.1$ In Order XXIV (Public administration and defence) where the percentage averaged 19.2, the proportion of unskilled workers in local government service excluding the police and fire services reached 59.2 per cent; this reflects mainly the numbers of local authority employees directly engaged on refuse removal, street cleansing and similar services to the public.
Disregarding Orders with less than 1,000 females, married women were relatively the most numerous in Order XVI (Other manufacturing industries) at 47.1 per cent of the total females in the Order. In Orders VI (Engineering and electrical goods), X (Textiles) and XXIII (Miscellaneous services), the proportion for married women was more than one-third.
Table 33 gives an analysis of the working population born outside Northern Ireland by sex, industry and place of birth. Of the males, approximately 40 per cent were born in England and Wales, 35 per cent were born in the Irish Republic and 16 per cent were born in Scotland. The corresponding percentages for females were:- England and Wales 24, Irish Republic 55 and Scotland' 14. Almost 56 per cent of the persons covered by the Table were classified to only four industry Orders as follows: XX (Distributive trades) 12.5 per cent, XXII (Professional and scientific services) 15.5 per cent, XXIII (Miscellaneous services) 11.9 per cent and XXIV (Public administration and defence) 15.9 per cent.
