Abstract
The employment/unemployment data are required at very short intervals to monitor the program made in the employment generating policies of the government. To satisfy this need, Sri Lanka Labour Force Survey was designed as a quarterly basis survey to measure the levels and trends of employment, unemployment and labour force in Sri Lanka. Thus the survey is repeated four times each year (in most years) since the first quarter of 1990. Key objectives of the survey
- To study the economically active / inactive population.
- To analyze employment by major industry group and employment status.
- To determine unemployment rates by level of education and by age group
- To study the informal sector employment.
- To determine the underemployment rates by sector and by major industries
In January 2006, significant improvements have been made to the survey schedule in such aspects as literacy, household economic activities, informal sector employment, underemployment etc. The survey covered all 25 districts in 2014.
