Poverty in Sri Lanka
Poverty in Sri Lanka continues to be a large problem. Sri Lanka being an exceptional country with its life expectancy, literacy rate and other social indicators nearly on par with those of developed countries, and even topping the rankings for the South Asia region.〔Human Development Report 2013〕 While all these indicate that Sri Lanka should be experiencing a high standard of living, until recently it has only ranked in the medium category of the Human Development Index (HDI).〔 This is despite the fact that Sri Lanka has been experiencing moderate growth in its GDP averaging 5.5% per annum between 2006 and 2009.〔2011 CIA Worldfact Book〕 One of the reasons is due to its relatively low GDP per capita; currently ranked in the bottom one third of the world.〔 This could be due to the issue of poverty, specifically, rural poverty. The Sri Lankan government has been succeful in reducing poverty from 15.2% in 2006 to 8.9% in 2010, Urban poverty was reduced from 6.7 to 5.3% while rural poverty was reduced from 15.7 to 9.5% and the nation is close to achieving Millennium Development Goals on Eradicating extreme poverty hunger.
==Population==
As of 2010 8.9% of the population lives below the poverty line. This is evidence that while acute poverty is no longer an issue, poverty still remains widespread and continues to be a challenging problem in Sri Lanka. More worryingly however is the fact that 90% of the poor live in rural areas, with over 80% of Sri Lanka’s population still living in rural areas.But in 2013 it has showed that the economy is growing more rapidly than any other Asian country
This highlights a link between isolation from social and economic infrastructure, cities and markets, and higher levels of poverty incidence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://www.cepa.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=51&Itemid=38 )〕 One explanation could be that it limits these people from earning income through off-farm activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/web/guest/country/home/tags/sri%20lanka )〕 In addition, with more than 40 per cent of the rural poor people being small farmers, their production systems may be hampered by the usual suspects of fragmented landholdings, poor economies of scale, low investment levels resulting from poor financial services as well as inappropriate or limited technology.〔
