Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka's demographic transition has significantly shaped the age distribution of the labor force and created a large working age population (World Bank 2008). Changing cohort sizes of young and old workers not only affect their own labor market outcomes (job quality, earnings), but also potentially affect growth prospects in the economy. Recovering from a 30-year conflict in the North and the East, Sri Lanka aims to accelerate growth in the medium term by substantially increasing investments. What will be the role of the labor market in delivering this growth? The service sector is expanding and accounts for nearly 60 percent of the Growth Domestic Product (GDP) and almost 40 percent of employment. However, only 56 percent of the working age population is employed, a result of low participation and high unemployment rates among women and youth. Any growth strategy will have to bring in more working age people, particularly women, into economic activity. The paper is organized as follows. The two sections that follow present an overview of the supply and demand side of the labor market. The next section discusses the ways in which the demographic transition could shape the labor market, particularly in terms of unemployment and earnings. This discussion is followed by three sections examining labor force participation and unemployment, job type, and earnings respectively. The last section concludes with some policy recommendations.

Book excerpt: Sri Lanka has been going through a demographic transition triggered by decreasing fertility and increasing life expectancy. The demographic transition is marked by two stages. During the first stage, the drop in new births reduces the under-age dependency ratio, while the proportion of working age population expands. This reduction in dependency ratio due to declining fertility, frequently referred to as the demographic bonus, is associated with an increased pace of economic development due to the larger share of working age population relative to the total population, and the smaller pool of dependents that workers have to support. In the second stage of the demographic transition, the consistently low fertility rates in combination with increased life expectancy for the elderly, lead to the relative expansion of the old-age dependency ratio. As the demographic transition enters the second stage, the demographic bonus deteriorates. As Sri Lanka is going through a demographic transition, it is important to take stock of the ways labor income is produced and consumed by different age groups. Similarly, when a deficit or a gap between consumption and labor income emerges, it is important to know what type of expenditures drive it and how it is financed. This paper documents labor income and consumption patterns by age group in Sri Lanka, in a manner that is comparable to work carried out for other countries that participate in the National Transfer Accounts Project.
Download or read book Mortality Migration and Fertility Transitions in Sri Lanka written by Lakshman Dissanayake and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive understanding of the demographic transition in Sri Lanka. Writings on this theme by various writers during different time periods have failed to combine all the three components of population change but mainly concentrated only on mortality and fertility transitions. Even in those descriptions, superior prominence has been given to explain the fertility transition. However, as discussed in this book, majority have examined post-transitional fertility differentials but failed to elucidate how Sri Lanka was able to commence its onset of the fertility transition even in the absence of modern family planning methods. This book has attempted to widen our knowledge on the demographic transition in Sri Lanka by explaining all three transitions with the use of existing theories.
