Unemployment of young educated people always has been a major destruction in Sri Lanka and this book provides valuable information to the government and anybody who is interested in youth unemployment. Even thought the Sri Lankan government has taken steps to reduce youth unemployment in the country, the change is minimal due to the rapid growth of the population. The statistical data and research provided in the book enables the reader to study the labor market impacts, youth mobility & overseas migration, development of youth entrepreneurship and differentials & discrimination among youth.
