total departures for foreign employment were 217,306, which was the highest for the period of 2006-2007.

The share of females, which was 24 percent for the period of 1986-87, had been increased from 55 percent in 1988 to 75 percent in 1997, and now it has been decreased to 53 percent in 2007.

For the past decade male share of total departures increased steadily and it reached 47 per cent in 2007. It was 25 per cent in 1997, and now it fluctuates around 47 percent. The number of male employees abroad has been increased by 12,459 people while female employees has been increased to 2,899 people. However even in such a conditions appears that number of female sector employees still remains higher than that of male sector.

In early stages of the industry, the male migration was recorded as the highest. However, it has gradually changed into female dominancy since 1988. But since 2001 the situation has changed and male migration is gradually increased. As per the direction of the presidential Task Force, compulsory registration for foreign employment was initiated in 1995. As a result the sudden increase was visible in the documented migration flow since 1995. The Airport survey conducted by the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (1990-1994) does not reveals such a sudden actual increase. According to the Airport survey, nearly 125,000 persons migrated for foreign employment annually, and 55 per cent of that had not registered with the Bureau of Foreign Employment. The migration statistics before 1995 have shown low migration rates due to large number that have migrated without registering at the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment whose statistics are not counted for. This clearly indicates that the sudden boom in1995 was not due to a sudden increase of departures, But as a result of increase in documented migration .

Foreign employment placements during the year 2007 were reported as 217,306 compared with 201,948 in 2006 it shows 7.6 per cent increase. This may be due to introducing of countersigning of agreements at Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment centres, pension scheme for migrant workers, and any other matters related to development of foreign employment industry.

In year 2007 Professional Level, Middle Level and Clerical & Related recruitment show a considerable decrease while Skilled and unskilled recruitments show a considerable increase.

While considering Foreign employment by manpower categories of foreign employment opportunities, housemaids continued to remain the highest demand among manpower categories of migrant workers. However, the share of housemaid, who belong to the lowest income group, increased up to 54 percent in 2005, and gradually it had decreased during the year. It was reported as 47 per cent in 2007.

It is also seen that, women have continued to accept overseas jobs as housemaids, especially in middle eastern countries, due to lack of employment opportunities at home country and with the hope of accumulating significant savings.
