Maximize Economic Benefit of Foreign Employment. Introduction.

International migration is a major driver of social and economic change in our country. Foreign Employment provided a remittance income having significant economic and social consequences. Every year over 250,000 Sri Lankans leave the country for foreign employment. This outflow of migrants has increased steadily over time, increased 20 times from 1986 to 2012. The numbers have dropped however by 12.5 per cent in 2015. But, little is known about those who return to the country after working abroad, although returnees can be greater benefit to the economy than migrants. Returnee migrants bring back new skills, knowledge and capital which can provide more value addition and create new employment opportunities among others, if properly directed and integrated into the economy and the society of the home country.
