Abstract
Migration is a popular phenomenon in Sri Lanka. According to the latest Household and Income Expenditure Survey (HIES) 2016 data, one in every eight households had an internal migrant residing elsewhere in the country, while one in every 14 households had a migrant overseas. The most significant benefit of migration to households left behind is the remittances sent. For instance, in 2016 one in every eight households received interal remittances, while one in every 11 households received foreign remittances in Sri Lanka. At the same time, in 2016, one in every 11 households was affected by natural disasters.
