contents Employment and livelihoods recovery after Cyclone Ditwahin Sri Lanka International Labour Organization This brief highlights the severe labour market shock in Sri Lanka caused by Cyclone Ditwah, including 149,400 workers facing temporary stoppages, 5 million lost workdays, and USD 18 million in income losses. Impacts were most acute in the informal service economy and plantation sectors. While women represent 35% of affected workers, they face disproportionate welfare risks due to lower baseline earnings and increased unpaid care burdens. The recovery requires USD 34 million to address structural vulnerabilities. ILO brief, ILO 10.54394/00034456 DOI https://doi.org/10.54394/00034456 publication.encyclopediaEntry
