Abstract

"Using data from the publication by the Registrar-General [of Sri Lanka] of deaths by age, sex and ethnic group for the census year 1981, as well as births by maternal age and ethnic group for the same year, this study examines variation in mortality by ethnic group over the post-war period. It also examines differential fertility by ethnic group over the same period in the light of new data that have become available."
