De Silva, I.; Siriwardhane, D.
The objective of this study is to examine the recent patterns of international labour migration dynamics of Sri Lanka to understand the issues related to the recent migration. The study primarily relies on secondary data collected from a number of public authorities. The descriptive approach is employed in analyzing data to achieve the objective. Results of the study show that international migration has been rapidly increasing during past years. Migration stock and flow of Sri Lanka have been highly represented by female migrants. However, with the government intervention in the past few years, the proportionate of female migrants in the migration flow has decreased. Middle East as the common destination absorbs a significantly large share of the labour migrants. However, a proper labour market analysis is essential to identify emerging labour markets to gain the maximum benefit of labour migration. While remittances make a strong economic impact, a significant social impact of the labour migration in the country can be observed.

Wijayawardhana, W. M. P. M.; Siriwardhane, D. R. J.
The path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth can be built by women empowerment. This study addresses the problem of inadequate female labour force participation in South Asia. As such, following a mixed methodological approach, both the qualitative and quantitative analysis were triangulated to achieve the objective of the study. The findings of the quantitative analysis suggested that compensating wage differentials can economically empower women in South Asia. The follow-up qualitative analysis involved an in-depth inquiry on empirical evidence of wage differential compensation sensitivity through a case study in Sri Lanka. Therein, motherhood and child age, co-habitation of grandparents, male supremacy in traditionally patriarchal families, intergenerational education and learning, voluntary child labour, human trafficking for women labour exploitation and growth needs & domestic financial requirements were explored as the determinants of women’s wage differential compensation sensitivity.

Wijewardhana, W.; Siriwardhane, D.
The pathway towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth can be
built by women empowerment. This study addresses the problem of inadequate female labour
force participation in South Asia. As such, following a mixed methodological approach, both the
qualitative and quantitative analyses were triangulated to achieve the objective of the study.
Women’s Wage Compensation Sensitivity Index (WWCSI) is constructed as the ultimate output of
the quantitative analysis using a sample of 112 respondents (non-working females) from Sri Lanka,
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The findings of that analysis suggested that compensating wage
differentials can economically empower non-working females in South Asia. However, wage
differential compensation is likely to be more productive among rural females and then among
urban females, and it will be more successful among less educated females. According to the newly
recognized backward bending nature of WWCS curve, wage differential compensation should be
offered for females in prime working age (25-45 years) instead of mothers with infants or elder
children. Further, governments should come up with temporary subsidization programmes
especially for urban females in order to turn housewives into own account worker because the
interest of females to earn at home is high. The follow-up qualitative analysis involved an in-depth
inquiry on empirical evidence of wage differential compensation sensitivity of non-working
females through a case study in Sri Lanka. Therein, motherhood and children’s age, co-habitation
of grandparents, male supremacy in traditionally patriarchal families, intergenerational education
and learning, voluntary child labour, human trafficking for women labour exploitation and growth
needs and domestic financial requirements were explored as the determinants of women’s wage
differential compensation sensitivity.
