Better childcare opens job opportunities for Sri Lankan women

By Sangeeta Dey , Senior Education Specialist, World Bank & Shobhana Sosale , Senior Education Specialist , World Bank Despite robust growth and reduced poverty, female labor force participation in Sri Lanka remains at a low 36 percent compared to 75 percent for men and below international standards. This number stands in stark contrast with Sri Lanka’s human capital improvements for women, such as high female education levels and low total fertility rates. Leaving many women out of the workforce means that Sri Lanka loses about 20 percent of its gross domestic product on average. Access to affordable Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) directly affects Sri Lanka’s labor force . A 2018 study found that having a child under five years of age reduced a Sri Lankan woman’s participation in the labor force by 7.4 percent compared with a woman who did not have a young child.

How CP de Silva Voted Against the Unadulterated Totalitarianism of His Own SLFP-led Government

D.B.S.Jeyaraj Charles Percival de Silva known as CP de Silva or CP was a mercurial personality who strode across the Sri Lankan -known then as Ceylon- political scene like a colossus. He passed away on October 9th 1972. CP de Silva was a former Civil servant and cabinet minister who was worshipped by thousands of farmers as a living Deity for the services he rendeted in the sectors of land settlement, irrigation and agriculture. CP’s crowning achievement however was in voting against his own party led Govt and bringing it down. His was a principled act necessitated by the ideal of resisting what he perceived as being the SLFP Govt’s “unadulterated totalitarianism” at that time. The contours of the CP de Silva saga is a fascinating tale worthy of being related on the occasion of his impending death anniversary on Oct 9.
