The population structure of Manchester

Because Manchester is located in the north-central part of England, when Manchester developed during the Industrial Revolution, a large number of rural people from neighboring villages and other parts of the British Isles came to Manchester City to apply for jobs. Especially in the middle and late forties of 19, because of the severe famine in Ireland, a large number of Irish people went to work in Manchester across the sea.

This group of Irish immigrants and their descendants continue to exert their influence in Manchester. For example, every March, the city holds a large-scale parade to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, a traditional Irish Catholic festival. At present, about 35% of the population in Manchester and salford are Irish. In addition, since the 20th century, a large number of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe moved to Manchester, mainly Jews. There are already 40,000 Jews living in Manchester, salford and Prestwich, which is the largest Jewish community in Britain outside London.
