Three censuses only on the Public Sector Employment had been conducted earlier in 1968, 1972 and 1976 by the Ministry of Public Administration.\n\nThe first census conducted by the Department of Census and Statistics on Public and Corporation Sector Employment was in 1980 and the second in 1985. The information collected at these three censuses were obtained through postal medium by an individual questionnaire filled personally by the employees.\n\nA provincial public service was created by the government in 1990 by a section of the public sector employees being absorbed in to the Provincial Public Service. These employees are employed under the provincial councils. A special feature of the Census of Public & Corporation Sector Employment conducted in 1990 was that, apart from the public sector and the corporation sector, information on the provincial public sector employment have also been collected in this census.\n\nListing of all the institutions under these three sectors, was done in 1989 with a view of a complete coverage. This operation was somewhat delayed due to the organizational changes in the administrative set up, which was mainly due to the transfers of employees to Provincial Councils from the State Sector (Central Government) institutions in January 1990. At this point of time officials of some of the provincial councils\nwere not aware of the institutions coming under each provincial council as well as the numbers of the employees working under them. This had an adverse effect in obtaining the estimated numbers of employees under each provincial council. These numbers were obtained from the Ministry of Provincial Councils based on the reports of Salaries and Cadres Committee. A list of all the institutions coming under each Ministry of Central\nGovernment was prepared along with the estimated number of employees in them. Institutions include Ministry offices, Departments, Corporations, Authorities, boards and Public Private Companies. A list of provincial councils along with the respective Ministries and Offices under each of them was also prepared.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1990-05-02","end":"","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Sri Lanka","abbreviation":"LKA"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage including institutions in the Nothern and Eastern Provinces.\n\nTotal number of employees covered in the census in  all three sectors was 700,592 persons.\n\nThe sectors being (i) State Sector (ii) Provincial Public Sector and (iii) Semi-Government Sector.\n\n(i) The State Sector includes all the Ministries, Departments and the institutions not coming under any Ministry of the Central Government.\n(ii) The Provincial Public Sector includes all the Ministries and institutions under the provincial councils.\n(iii)The Semi-Government Sector includes all the Corporations, Boards, Authorities, State Banks, Public Private Companies and Local Authorities.\n(Note:-Public-Private company is a company in which some percentage of shares is owned by the State.)\n\nThe employees in the following categories are included in the census.\n(i) Permanent. (ii) Casual (iii) Temporary. (iv) Pensioner, re-employed.\n\nThe employees in the following categories are not included in the Census.\n(i) The personnel attached to armed forces(Army, Navy and Air force) except for civilian staff. (ii) The field labourers in the state owned estates.\n\nIt was not possible to obtain the estimated number of employees from some of the local authorities under the provincial councils. One of the difficulties faced in the census was getting the estimates for the number of employees as at 2nd May 1990, in both State Sector and Provincial Public Sector institutions, because of the premature stage of the functioning of the Provincial Public Sector in general.\n\n The other major problem faced was that receiving the filled questionnaires from the institutions in the Northern and the Eastern Provinces. Nearly 53.000 questionnaires were dispatched to the North-Eastern Provincial Council for the distribution among the employees. However only about 18.500 filled questionnaires were returned from the North-Eastern Provincial Council  back to the Department of Census and Statistics. Further a relatively low response was reported even in some of the Central Government, institutions located in the Northern and the Eastern provinces. i.e.\n\n1. State Banks\n2. Postal Department\n3.
