Earlier, Census of Public Sector Employment was conducted only by the Ministry of Public Administration in the years 1968, 1972 and 1976 with the technical assistance and staff  by the Department of Census and Statistics.\n\nIn 1980 this Department undertook and carried out the Census in both sectors, namely Public and Corporation Sector for the first time. This Census is the first in this series covering both Public and Corporation Sectors. The 1980 Census of Public and Corporation Sector Employment marks a significant improvement over the previous surveys in that it extended its coverage to the Corporation sector also."},"version_statement":{"version":"- v1.0 : Full edited dataset, for internal DPD use","version_date":"2009-07-01"},"study_info":{"topics":[{"topic":"employment [3.1]","vocab":"CESSDA","uri":"http:\/\/www.nesstar.org\/rdf\/common"}],"abstract":"This is  the \"Census of Public and Corporation Sector 'Employment\" conducted by the Department of Census and Statistics in 1980. The data sets out the position as at 1st July, 1980. For the purpose of this Census, State Sector Employees were classified into the broad categories: (a) Public Sector Employees, which includes all employees in  Ministries, Departments and Institutions which come under direct Government administration and (b) Corporation Sector Employees which includes all employees in state owned Corporations and other statutory bodies.\n\nThe target population being all state sector employees, it was necessary to have a frame or a complete list of state sector establishments. Such  a  list of establishments, was prepared by up-dating the information given  in Part I, Section (1) of the gazette extraordinary of 30th April, 1980.\n\nThe method of data collection was by postal enumeration. Questionnaires were dispatched to each listed establishment  through the relevant Ministry for distribution to all its employees. The completed questionnaires were collected by the establishments and returned by post.  Where this failed, the questionnaires were collected by personal visits by officers of this Department.\n \nDue to practical difficulties, enumeration of unskilled labourers in the estates had to be left out. Public sector employees  attached to diplomatic missions abroad were also not included . Questionnaires were also not received in respect of employees who were treated as  having vacated post and  had not been re-employed by the end of the  year 1980.\n\nOwing-to poor  response from certain sections of the state service only 78% coverage could be achieved. It has been decided to publish the detailed tables in respect of this 78%  as they will provide at least an  approximate classification of employees in terms of sex, age, marital status, occupation, level of education, ethnic and religion affiliation etc.\n\nPrior to 1968 information on state service  employment was collected by the Department of Census and Statistics from the respective Ministries, Departments, Corporations etc. and published in the Statistical Abstract of Sri Lanka. The first Census of Public Service employees  was held in 1968 and it was continued every fourth\u00b7 year. Table below  shows the growth of State Service employment  in Sri Lanka from 1960.\n\n GROWI'H OF STATE SERVICE  EMPLOYMENT\n\nYear             Public Sector        Corporation Sector\n1960                   257,890                       ..\n1964                   298,334                       ..\n1968                   303,674a           115,355\n1972                   323, 718b          145,810c\n1980                   368, 849d          228,531d\n\n\n\na 1968 - Statistics of  personnel in Public Service 1968.
