Summary
Details

This report examines obstacles to women's labor force participation in Sri Lanka, identifies laws and policies that shape participation in specific occupations and sectors, and proposes strategies to overcome systemic barriers.

The evolution of female labor force participation in Sri Lanka over the past several decades reveals both progress and stagnation, influenced by varying demographic, economic, and social factors. This report examines the key factors affecting the persistently low rates of women's participation in the country's workforce. It combines an extensive review of literature with empirical analysis of national datasets and provides insights for policymakers, development partners, and civil society organizations.
