INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
While Sri Lanka has made significant achievements in education, especially in primary and secondary education, this achievement is not
sustained at university level
According to the Labor Force Survey (2019), the highest unemployment rate is reported from the G.C.E (A/L) and above age group
The survey further indicates that the youth unemployment rate (age 15-24 years) is currently at 21.6%
A shortage of skills and mismatches with Labor market demands are some of the contributing factors.
