Research and Analysis
In Pobal, we believe that evidence, data and analysis is critical to the creation of a more equal and inclusive society
Research Strategy
We believe in generating evidence
on social inclusion to inform national debate and policy, improve programs for marginalised communities and optimise resources through
data-driven decisions.
Childcare Data
Our new Early Learning and Childcare Data website provides comprehensive information and data on Early Learning and Care (ELC) and School-Age Childcare (SAC) settings across the country. The data is provided through dashboards developed by Pobal on behalf of the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE).
Policy Submissions
Our vision is to build an equal and inclusive society with the help of Government and communities. As a Government agency supporting disadvantaged groups, we offer valuable insights to help shape policy.
