Welcome to the Maps and Stats page, the latest addition to the Poverty Portal. The Maps and Stats section features a range of data resources on Sri Lanka and its regions using state generated and CEPA data.

This component intends to meet the data needs of users in Sri Lanka and outside of the country. It aims to contribute to improving data availability on Sri Lanka and use of data for informed decision making in the country. The site has a range of resources including maps, graphical presentations and data tabulations and handbooks.

This part of the Portal is work in progress and initially includes data on two provinces in Sri Lanka; Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces but will also include data and graphical presentations from the Eastern province in 2011. In addition it includes micro data on urban poverty and multidimensional poverty themes using CEPA's own work. We intend to focus on one province and selected content themes per year for data collation, processing and presentation.

Users are welcome to use the information appropriately sourced/cited to the Poverty Portal and various data sources. 

If you are unable to access a link or find the data you are looking for please do not be disappointed. Send us a request and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.

Email the Portal Team if you have any comments, feedback for improvement and/or questions. We welcome all feedback. 

සිතියම් හා සංඛ්‍යාන දත්ත අංශයට පිවිසි ඔබ සාදරයෙන් පිලිගනිමු. දරිද්‍රතා බිහිදොරට එකතුවුණු නවතම අංශය ලෙස මෙය හදුන්වා දියහැකිය. දරිද්‍රතා විශ්ලේෂණ කේන්ද්‍රයේ සමීක්ෂණ මඟින් සොයාගත් දත්ත හා රාජ්‍ය අංශය විසින් හදුන්වා දෙනු ලැබු දත්ත උපයෝගී කර ගෙන නවමවු මුහුණුවරකින් ඉදිරිපත් කොට තිබේ.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව තුළ හා ශ්‍රී ලංකාවෙන් පිටත දත්තවල අවශ්‍යතාවය ඇති පුද්ගලයින්ට මෙම අංශය හඳුන්වාදීම බලාපොරොත්තු වේ. ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ පවතින දත්ත වැඩි දියුණු කිරීමට දායකවීම සහ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ තීන්දු තීරණ ගැනීමේදී දත්ත භාවිතා කිරීම මෙම අංශයේ අරමුණු වේ. මෙම වෙබ් අඩවියේ සිතියම්, ප්‍රස්තාර, දත්ත වගු සහ අත්පොත් ආදි සම්පත් සමුහයක් අන්තර්ගත කොට තිබේ.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ සබරගමුව සහ ඌව පලාත්වල දත්ත පළමුවෙන් ඇතුළත් කරනු ලැබු අතර 2011 වන විට නැගෙනහිර පලාතේ දත්ත සහ ප්‍රස්තාර ඉදිරිපත් කිරීමට බලාපොරොත්තු වේ. මීට අමතරව දරිද්‍රතා විශ්ලේෂණ කේන්ද්‍රය මඟින් සිදු කෙරුණු නාගරික දරිද්‍රතාවය සහ දරිද්‍රතාවය පිළිබඳ බහුවිධ මානයන් පිලිබඳ ක්ෂුද්‍ර මට්ටමේ දත්ත ද මෙහි ඇතුළත් කර තිබේ. එහි දත්ත සමුච්චීකරණය කිරීම, සැකසීම සහ ඉදිරිපත් කිරීම සදහා වසරකට එක් පලාතක් සහ තෝරාගත් තේමාවන් මුලික කරගනිමින් සිතියම් හා සංඛ්‍යාන දත්ත ඉදිරිපත් කිරීමට අප අරමුණු කරගෙත තිබේ.

මෙම තොරතුරු භාවිතා කරන්නන්ට, දරිද්‍රතා බිහිදොරෙහි පිළිගත් මුලාශ්‍ර/වෙබ් අඩවි සහ විවිධ දත්ත මුලාශ්‍ර අනුව භාවිතා කිරීමට ආරාධනා කරන්නෙමු.

This map contrasts the employed populations in each of the four main occupational categories: government sector employment, private sector employment, self employment and foreign employment. The data is for each GN division in the Pelmadulla Divisional Secretariat (DS) division for the year 2008. Data is not available for Ganegama. In 2008, again there is a change in the structure of the occupational distribution, the main source of employment shifting to the private sector again and self employment becoming the second most important source. There is also a drastic increase in government sector employment though it remains the third biggest source of employment. Private sector employment, besides being the main source of employment for the DS division is the main source of employment in 24 of the 37 GN divisions. The largest number of private sector workers is recorded More...

The occupational distribution has changed from 2006 with self employment becoming the main source of employment in the DS division followed by private sector employment and government sector employment. However, the numbers have increased in all four categories for the DS division. Even though self employment is now the main source of employment for the DS division, it is the main source of employment in only 11 GN divisions. This is primarily because of the More...
Occupational Distribution by Grama Niladhari Division 2006_Pelmadulla   Occupational Distribution by Grama Niladhari Division 2006_Pelmadulla

This map contrasts the employed populations in each of the four main occupational categories: government sector employment, private sector employment, self employment and foreign employment. The data is for each GN division in the Pelmadulla Divisional Secretariat (DS) division for the year 2006. The main source of employment in the DS division is the private sector and is the main source of employment in 17 of the 37 GN divisions.

By contrast, there are no private sector employees in Denawaka Pathakada and Kattange and less than 10 in six other GN divisions. This explains the range of 304, which is the largest among the four categories. Government sector employment is the second main source of emp More...

This map compares the number of people engaged in each occupational category for each Grama Niladhari (GN) division of the Opanayake Divisional Secretariat (DS) division in 2006. The occupational categories are: government employment, private sector employment, agricultural employment and industrial employment. Similar to 2001, in 2006 too agricultural employment is the biggest source of employment in the DS division followed by private sector employment and government sector employment. A notable difference in the agricultural sector is the reduction in numbers in Akarella, with Batadura being the GN division with the highest number of agricultural workers with 483. However, it is still the main source of employment in 15 of the 20 GN divisions. Only four of the GN divisions have less than 100 agricultural employees, and Hattella Egoda records the lowest of 77.
