When the care required for an ageing parent becomes more than a family can manage, who steps in?

For generations, care work in Sri Lanka has been treated as a family responsibility—often requiring women to give up their earnings and opportunities. However, with a growing older population and changing household structures, expecting families to meet these needs alone is no longer sustainable.

In a new joint article, Verité Research Lead Analyst Nadhiya Najab and UN Women Programme Management Analyst Prashani Dias explore why care must become a shared responsibility. They outline how the government can step in as a provider, facilitator, and financier to ensure families have reliable options when their own capacity is stretched.

Ms. Deepanjalie Abeywardana, Director of Media and Politics, Verité Research, Sri Lanka, recently spoke at the UNESCO Regional event on Media and Information Literacy (MIL).

Date: 26 - 27 October 2026
Location: UNESCO Regional Office for South Asia, New Delhi, India
Theme: "We All Play a Part: Advancing Media and Information Literacy for the People"

Ms. Abeywardana shared her insights during two key sessions on 26 October 2026:

Session 2: "Why MIL matters now"
Session 4: "Future-Ready Learning: Empowering Digital Citizens Through MIL and AI in South Asia"

During her panels, she highlighted Trace-it, a publishing standard championed by Verité Research, to enable source traceability, and emphasised that fostering a healthy media diet is an essential, shared component of our digital infrastructure.

This regional event brought together policymakers, educators, and media professionals to foster dialogue and strengthen MIL integration into education systems across South Asia. The discussions addressed urgent priorities, including digital citizenship, youth engagement, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence.

All our insights shared today for the International Day of Care and Support are now available online.

Today, we shared a series of visual notes highlighting the value of care work. From unpaid labour to elder care, we explored how this work functions as the social infrastructure that sustains the rest of the economy.

Elder day centres provide more than just a space—they offer community, independence, and dignity.

As we mark the International Day of Care and Support today, we are sharing real stories from older people who use on active day centres in Sri Lanka. For many, these spaces provide a break from isolation and the anxiety of feeling like a burden to their families. Through these centres, participants can find companionship, access medical care, and earn a small income, while still living independently.

Read through to read their stories and understand why community-based care spaces matter.

Unpaid care work is worth 14.1% of Sri Lanka's GDP.

As we mark the International Day of Care and Support today, it is important to recognize that care work is what allows the rest of the economy to function. Whether it is direct support like feeding, or indirect tasks like cooking and cleaning, this labour is essential—yet often unrecognised.

Verité Research is expanding our analysis on the care economy in Sri Lanka. Read through our first post in the series to understand why public spending on care is an investment in social infrastructure, not just social welfare.

Is democracy compromised when gaining IMF support?

When IMF deals are struck with the executive alone, could they sideline Parliament, the courts and independent institutions, inadvertently placing both democracy and the very governance reforms they promise in jeopardy?

Of the two round tables Verité Research convened during the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, one was on this subject, drawing in perspectives from other countries and placing Sri Lanka’s experience within a wider global conversation. Now Nishan and Raj bring that discussion home, to share what emerged and open it up for discussion.

Date: 29th October, 2026
Time: 4:30pm to 6:00pm
