Youth perceptions: exploring results from the poverty and youth survey (pdf 1mb)

This report presents the main findings of a youth survey conducted in Sri Lanka. The study focused on revealing the opinions and viewpoints of young people on poverty and poverty related issues.

The Poverty and Youth Survey covers young people's views on:
- Youth
- Poverty and development
- Employment and education
- Politics and participation

The results are analysed in comparison with results from previous studies and surveys and in terms of the differences between responses from men and women, youth in rural and urban settings, and youth in the conflict and non-conflict areas.


The report highlights policy areas which appear to require closer attention or a change of strategy.
