Department of Census and Statistics

Preface
A Census of Population and Housing is the most extensive undertaking in any country. The first
Census of Population and Housing was undertaken in 1871 in Sri Lanka and thereafter a series of
Censuses had been conducted in Sri Lanka. The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) was
able to conduct the 14th consecutive Population and Housing Census in Sri Lanka in 2012 after a
lap of 31 years from 1981.
Preliminary results of the Population and Housing Census were released at various stages after
Census taking. It is my pleasure to state that this publication provides 52 selected final important
tables on ‘Population’ for the entire country including information of 25 district level information
on Population Distribution, Demographic Characteristics, Fertility, Migration, Characteristics of the
Population with Functional Difficulties, Education and Economic Activities.
This report is an outcome of the endless effort made by many individuals from starting stage to
the end of the Census process. I deeply appreciate the staff of the Population Census and
Demography Division of the Department for their valuable contributions to prepare this report.
Further, I acknowledge all the contributions made by all the DCS staff and officials of other
government and other organizations who worked with dedication and diligence for the successful
completion of the Census taking in 2012. I am also grateful to the general public for extending
their fullest co-operation by providing relevant information for the Census 2012.
Among the all contributors I must pay special thanks to the former Director Generals Mrs. D.B.P.
Suranjana Vidyaratna and Mr. D.C.A. Gunawardena for their leadership and guidence in
conducting the Population and Housing Census in 2012.
I hope information provided in this publication will be useful for users of data on Population of the
country.
