Abstract
This report outlines 5 main policy
channels for interventions to help the Sri Lankan economy
modernize and move beyond yesterday’s labor-intensive
strategies to more skill-intensive employment in competitive
firms: reducing barriers to firm growth and productivity,
revising labor market, government employment, and
competition policies; enhancing youth and women's
capacity to obtain better jobs; increasing the productivity
of the self-employed; and improving matching of job seekers
with employers.
