Who are Poor in Sri Lanka and Where
are They? This presentation is mainly based on an article I
contributed to EconomicReview, Feb/March, 2013, of the Peoples Bank
Some of the slides are based on the Second
Chapter and the Technical Note of the NationalHuman Development Report - 2012, which Iauthored.
Most of the charts are based on HIES-2009/10, (DCS)& are unpublished. As such, contents of thepresentation may be quoted with acknowledgement

Broad outline of the presentation
Comparison of poverty figures based on national poverty lineswith international poverty lines (US$ 1.00 and US$ 1.25 perperson per day), which are being used by the WorldBank, UNDP, etc., to compare poverty levels between countries
Brief outline on Income Poverty and MultidimensionalPoverty, as both these measures are used in the analysis
Objective of the analysis is to identify the poorest groups in Sri
Lanka and where they are located A comparison of poverty levels between Regions & Socio-
Economic Groups: Although Sri Lanka has already achieved MDGof halving the Income Poverty (compared to 1990) well before
the target year 2015, still there are disparities between regionsand between Socio-Economic Groups
What are the main deprivations the poorest groups face

Measuring Income Poverty in Sri Lanka
Poverty Measure Used: Absolute Poverty-This measure isused, as the poverty over time or across regions can becompared easily
In this approach, a consumption bundle, which includesfood items needed to meet the minimum nutritionalrequirements (2030k.cal per day per person) and otherbasic needs. This is called the Basket of Basic Needs
The cost of this Basket is considered as the IncomePoverty Line, which varies across time and acrossregions
Most of the countries use Absolute Poverty and theCost of Basic Needs approach to determine thePoverty Line

Multidimensional Poverty(MDP)
MDP is a measure of acute poverty, which reveals the combinationof deprivations that batter a household at the same time
Multidimensional Poverty Index offers a valuable complement tothe traditional Income Poverty
MDP is measured using three (3)dimensions: Health (H), Education
(E) and Standard of Living (SL). These are measured using 10 indicators
Each dimension is equally weighted (10/3) and each indicator is
equally weighted within each dimension (H-10/6, E-10/6 & SL-10/18) If a household (HH) is deprived of any of the 10 indicators (given in
the next slide), the corresponding weight is added for that particularHH
If the sum of the weights exceeds 3 (i.e. 30% of thedeprivations), such HHs are considered to be in MultidimensionalPoverty
All the Members in such households are considered to beMultidimensionally Poor 9

Around one million have managed to escape poverty between 2006/07 &
2009/10
However, a large proportion of them are still at risk of slipping
back
For example, around 800,000 are within 10 % above the
Income Poverty line, indicating that they still at risk of slipping
back, due any economic shocks Multidimensional Poverty also show similar situation: For
example, if households exceeding 20% of the deprivations, are
considered to be in Multidimensional Poverty, instead ofthose households exceeding 30% (which is the usual level
considered in estimating MDP), there is a significant increase
(estimated 1.9 million increase )in the incidence MDP All these facts confirms that there is a significant number of
people who could be vulnerable, as they are too close to the
poverty line and therefore are at risk of slipping into poverty15

Socio-economic Groups (SEGs)
HHs in HIES-2009/10 were divided into 11 Socio-economicGroups, based on the Main Occupation Category of the Head of HH
HHs headed by 1 - Administrators, Senior Officials & Professionals; 2Technical & Associated Professionals; 3 - Clerical, Services, Sales &Similar Workers; 4 Skilled Agricultural, Forestry & Fishery Workers; 5
- Craft & related trade workers, plant & machine operators, etc. ; 6Non-Agricultural Labourers & similar workers and 7 -Agriculture, Forestry Labourers, were considered as Socio-economicGroups were considered, as SEGs with employed heads of HHs
The Other SEGs: HHs headed by either, 8 an unemployedperson, 9 a household workers; 10 a person who is not able to
or too old to work and 11 a person whose occ. is not properlyspecified (as the last group accounts for only 0.9%, it could beignored)
Any member in a HH belonging to the 10 groups is considered to bein that particular SEG
