Preface
Due to unsettled conditions that prevailed in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka for 3 decades, reliable information on population and vital events in the province had not been collected since 1981. However, since the return to normalcy in 2009, the Government, in its quest to bring economic and social dividends of peace to the province, have been constrained by the absence of information on vital statistics of the province to plan and implement many development activities designed for the province. The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS), as the apex body of collecting, processing and disseminating reliable statistical data and information, was therefore called upon, with a sense of urgency the situation warrants, to embark upon the task of planning and implementing this Enumeration of Vital Events (EVE 2011). Thus, the project of Enumeration of Vital events - in the Northern Province was carried out by the DCS commencing 10thJune till 15thAugust 2011. The field data collection required for the project covering the entire Northern province was planned and executed within the period of two weeks from 3rd July to 17th July, 2011. The Sample Surveys Division (SSD), being the arm of DCS responsible for planning and implementation of household surveys and such enumerations, was assigned this task in early 2011 and the Director and the staff of the SSD along with other DCS offices, having realized the national significance of this event, worked tirelessly and with great commitment to make EVE 2011- Northern Province, a success. The Ministry of Defense and Urban Development provided necessary infrastructure facilities during the period of training of enumerators and also in field enumeration. The project also benefited at its planning and implementation stages by several contributions made by the Ministry of Public Administration, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance and Planning and the State Printing Corporation. Acknowledgement should also be made of the contributions by staff of the Northern province District Secretariats (GA offices), Divisional secretariats (AGA offices), Zonal education offices and the Government School Teachers of the Northern Province, who played the vital role as field enumerators, enabling the successful completion of the project within the time designed.

Executive Summary
The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) conducted the Enumeration of Vital Events (EVE)-2011 during the months of June/ July 2011. Main objective of the EVE- 2011 is to provide the government with important information concerning the population and vital events in the Northern Province which were not recorded since 1981 due to acts of terrorism prevalent in the province for 3 decades. The EVE 2011 covered the entire Northern Province and the information thus collected can be presented at Province, District, Divisional Secretariat Division, GramaNiladhari Division and Local Government Authority levels. A team of DCS technical officers provided the Training, supervision and guidance to the field enumerators. The on field enumeration was carried out by Government school teachers with the assistance and authority of relevant GramaNiladhari officers of the area. The EVE 2011 is a total enumeration based on Usual Residence of the respondent population but the security forces and Police personnel staying in barracks were not included in the enumeration. Some of the important findings of the EVE 2011 are given below as a quick overview for busy data users.

1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND Enumeration of Vital Events - 2011 (EVE 2011),is a special enumeration covering the entire Northern Province conducted with the view of providing the Government of Sri Lanka with information on vital events that were not collected for the last 30 years in the province since the island wide Census of Population and Housing (CPH) - 1981 was conducted. The CPH, that was to be conducted in 1991, could not be implemented in the northern and eastern provinces of the countrydue to terrorist activities in the province and then the succeeding CPH of 2001 too was not conducted in the province due to same reasons. Therefore these two provinces have been in the dark with regard to the information of vital events that took place in their provinces during the past 30 years and this has been the biggest impediment to planning and executing development activities in the area. In view of this situation it has become incumbent upon the DCS, being the premier professional national organization that collect, collate and publish information on the countrys vital events, to undertake the recording of vital events in these province now after the elimination of terrorism.
1.2 COVERAGE AND MAIN ACTIVITIES The EVE 2011 was able to carry out a complete enumeration in all 5 districts in the Northern Province. The field activities of the EVE 2011 commenced on 10 June, 2011 and concluded on 15 August, 2011. Population living in the entire Northern Province was enumeratedand the persons staying in barracks for national security purposes and the police were excluded. The following table illustrates the breakdowns and the time allocated for main activities of the EVE 2011. Table 1.2.1: Main activity chart of the EVE 2011 - Northern Province Main activity 1.

In addition to the above main activities of the study, field verification of the data collected was also planned and executed in October, 2011, prior to conclude the information given in this publication.
1.3FIELD OPERATION Recruitment, Training, Data collection and overall Supervision came under field operation and thus field operation proved to be the major task of the enumeration exercise. Considerable quantity of printing, purchasing and distribution of logistic supplies where required and providing of transportation and other basic facilities for the field staff was a clear challenge as this required continuous planning and execution to produce quality data at the end of the day. Therefore to coordinate the field operations, a senior executive officer (Senior Statistician or Statistician) of the DCS was appointed to each of 5 districts in the Northern Province. To provide them with technical assistances in conducting field supervision and training activities, subordinate staffs of the DCS (Statistical Officer/Statistical Assistant) who are capable of working in Tamil medium were also appointed to each Divisional Secretariat (DS)/Additional Government Agent (AGA)office under the district secretariat/Government Agent (GA)office. As the DCS usually maintains a regular staff cadre at each District/Divisional secretariat (GA/AGA) offices, the numerous staff mobilized for enumerating activity was never found wanting in direction and advise. The number of enumerators to be appointed at DS/AGA level was determined by the number of census blocks1 created for each district in the Northern Province for the Census of Population and Housing 2011. Considering the size of the census block, it was planned to assign one enumerator forthe enumeration of two census blocks. The following table illustrates the distribution of the number of enumeratorsdeployed by district. Table 1.3.1: Distribution of number of Enumerators by district - EVE 2011 - Northern Province District Northern Province Jaffna Mannar Vavuniya Mullaithivu Kilinochchi No. of DS/ AGA Divisions 33 15 5 4 5 4 No. of Census Blocks 4,432 1,939 773 640 623 457 No. of Enumerators 2,551 1,119 444 368 357 263
Government School Teachers attached to the Northern Province were enrolled through the Zonal Directors of Education and appointed asfield enumerators. The enumerators were attached to a DS (AGA) division at his or her convenience and the coordination between the enumerators and the DS (AGA) offices weremaintained through the relevant GramaNiladhari (GN) of the GN division in which the enumerator's assigned census blocks were located.
Census block is a small geographical area containing approximately 150 building units. Building units include housingunits,collectivelivingquartersandnonhousingunits.Theseblocksarecreatedtoeasetheenumeration ofcensusofpopulationandhousing2011.

The training classes for the Enumerators and GNs were conducted at the DS/AGA officesand the field enumerators were adequately trained by the appointed DCS staff with the assistance of the regularDCS staff under the guidance of District coordinators and the regular Heads of the District Statistical staff. Pre-listing forms of the census blocks prepared for the CPH 2011was used as the base for the enumeration and the enumerators were given the copies of the pre-listing forms of the census blocks he is assigned to. The GNs assisted the enumerators to identify the locations and corresponding geographical boundaries of the census blocks and the locations of the dwellings in it as mentioned in the pre-listing forms. The enumerators updated the pre-listing forms prior to the enumeration of census blocks to capture the latest field situation and the field enumerating activities were continuously guided and supervised by the DCS staff assisted by the GNs. Theschedules of enumerator completed census blocks were collected by the DCS staff appointed to the DS/AGA division and delivered to the relevant GN to certify the schedules of his GN division for accuracy of the basic individual information collected by the enumerators. The GNcertified scheduleswerechecked and certified by the DCS staff as well for the completion of necessary technical details prior to finally sending those to Data keying center located in Kilinochchior Sample Surveys Division of the DCS Colombo office.
1.4 DATA PROCESSING After the data entry of EVE 2011 was done, the data verification, which is a necessary data processing activity,was conducted in 3 stages before data tabulations. First the keyed data was edited online for some selected edit specifications structured in order to remove basic Identification, Structural and Range errors and inconsistencies present in the raw data. Hard questionnaires were revisited during the online editing to eliminate omissions, coding errors and errors that might have been entered in to data during the data entry and/ or field work due to wrong dictations and misunderstandings. Then, concurrent to online editing, a field verification and validation were also carried out to resolve most inappropriate or missing information located in the data. About 12,000 such cases scattered throughout the Northern Province were verified by the DCS staff re-visiting the relevant households in groups using a verification schedule along with the original schedule during the month of October, 2011. After making those corrections in the EVE 2011 database,a fully automated correction for obvious and correctable mistakes has been added to the data in different stages of the data collection process to preserve the dataquality. This automated corrections made on the data was based on the DCSs agreed well recognized edit specifications and the corrections made were indicated as less than 1.5 percent for all the edit specifications. Validation of area identification details of the data was based on the Master Registry of Census Blocks 2011 (MRCB 2011) which were prepared to register correct area administration, population and housing information of each and every census blockprepared to facilitate a complete enumeration in the CPH 2011. The MRCB database is properly maintained and continuously updated by the DCS to match current changes of administration boundaries and the creation of new administration areas. The MRCB also provides the necessary base for all the other national level surveys and therefore the MRCB 2011 of the Northern Province was comprehensively used in planning, implementation and controlling ofeach and every stage of the EVE 2011 project as well.
2.Methodology
The enumeration of the EVE 2011 was carried out throughout the Northern Province within a very short period of time with the view of obtaining the vital statistics fast,accurate and without duplication. Hence it can also be identified as a Snap Census and the de-jure2 method was applied for counting. Ade jure census counts people according to their usual residence. Security Forces and Police personnel living in barracks were not enumerated in the EVE 2011. 2.1 CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS Usual Residence : Usual residence refers to the housing unit or collective living quarters at which the person usually lives, i.e. sleeps, keeps his/her clothes and other belongings etc. It is the residence from which a person generally goes to work or if that person is a student, attends school. A persons usual residence need not always be his/her permanent residence although in many cases the usual residence happens to be the permanent residence. The place or district of usual residence is the place or district in which the persons usual residence is located. Household: A household may be (i) a one-person household or (ii) multi-person household. A one-person household is one where a person lives by himself/herself and makes separate provision for the food. A multi-person household is one in which a group of two or more persons live together and have common arrangements for provision of food. A Household includes not only members of the family such as husband, wife and children but also others such as relatives, boarders, domestic servants etc. who live with the familysharing the same common arrangements of cooking and partaking food. Lodgers of a household, who have their own separate arrangements for meals, are considered as separate households. Housing Unit: Three conditions should be satisfied in order to consider a building unit as a housing unit; (i) It should be a place of dwelling of human beings. (ii) It should be separated from other places of dwelling. (iii) It should have a separate entrance. Under this definition any building or a part of building or any structure, whether permanent or temporary, such as huts, shanties, sheds etc., which are in fact used as places of residence were regarded as housing units. Collective Living Quarter: A place where two or more unrelated persons share common living arrangements is considered as a collective living quarter. Non-housing Unit: Every building or part of a building which is not used as a place of dwelling is a nonhousing unit. e.g.: office, petrol filling station, shop etc.

Figure3.1.2: Distribution of population by Gender and Age group in Northern Province 2011
The figure 3.1.2 depicts the population pyramid of the Northern province and its shape resembles a typicalpopulation pyramid seen in developing countries. According to the population pyramid the
Northern province has a young population with the number increasing towards the lesser ages. The child population however shows a downward trend during the last 20 years consistent with the aging trends of the Sri Lanka population as reported by the CPH 2001. In every age group of the populationbetween 20 to 59 years of age, the male population is less than the female population whereas the male population is high among less than 20 years aged persons. The elderly population aged beyond 64 years also shows a sudden dip and as usual the number of female in the population increases with the age.
URBAN POPULATION When the residential sector, either rural or urban, of the Northern population is considered, 166,285 persons or 16.7% of the province total population is urban population, the EVE 2011 finds. The province's urban population shows a sharp decline in both number and portion since 1981 as the CPH 1981 reported urban population in the province was 303,016 or 27.3% of the then province's population which was 1,109,404. Table 3.1.4 lists the province total population according to districts and local government authorities of the Northernprovince.

INFORMATION ON HOUSEHOLDS The enumeration of population in EVE 2011 was based on usual residence which may be a housing unit, collective unit or a non-housing unit. The enumeration schedule is based on households identified on arrangements of sharing of food among the inmates of the residence according to the basic DCS definitions. The EVE 2011 found that over 98% of the Northern population spends the night in housing units and there are 245,694 such households in the province. The average household size, generally attributed to cultural and economic characteristics of different social domains, is reported to be a robust 3.98 persons per household for the Northern Province in 2011. However the average household size varies widely among the districts in the Northern province.

Figure 3.1.3 shows that 57% of the population living in households is in Jaffna district and that Mullaithivu district houses only 6.6% of the northern population. EVE 2011 investigated the ownership of the Housing unit of each household identified in any of the living units including collective and nonhousing units and the results are summarized in table 3.1.6. Table 3.1.6: Number of households by Ownership of living unit and District - 2011 Tenure District Northern province Jaffna Mannar Vavuniya Mullaithivu Kilinochchi Total

As per the Table 3.1.6 almost 75% of the northern population lives in a shelter owned by a member of their household and further 12.5% of the households live in units free of any rent payment. However, 4081 households were also identified in centers set up for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as at July 2011. Figure 3.1.4: Tenure by District 2011
According to the figure 3.1.4above, 70% of the households in all districts in the Northern Province own a house and house ownership is approximately 90% among the Kilinochchi households. Amount of households under encroached category is less than 1% in all the districts.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The EVE 2011 also investigated the school attendance status of all the children living in the Northern Province. Table 3.1.7 shows the school attendance status of children who are in the age group of 5 to 14 years which is also the government imposed age band in which schooling is compulsory for a child in Sri Lanka. The table depicts that an alarming 9.1 percent of the children in the compulsory school going age group in the Northern Province is not attending school in 2011. Jaffna and Mannar districts shows the poorest schooling status as 10 % of less than 10 year aged young Jaffna girls and 10.2 % of less than 10 year aged young Mannar boys are not attending school. 9.6 percent of the Jaffna and Mannar children aged 5 - 14 years are not attending school. Kilinochchi district shows a relatively better situation (minimum in the province) in that respect with a 7.3 % of the children in the district reporting of either not having attended a school or having dropped out prematurely.

INWARD-MIGRATION The EVE 2011 interviewed all the persons in the Northern Province for their inward-migration details. The portion of population that has not migrated in from any place or in other words living in the place of birth without any change of residence is approximately 39% for the Northern Province. 38.9% of the population in the province is resettled population and 97,222 have stated that the reason for their most recent change of residence is displacement due to terrorist disturbances. Others who have migrated have done so due to economic and personal reasons such as employment, vocation or settling in marriage and they account for approximately 12.2% of the Northern population.

Table 3.1.8also confirms and measures the size of the massive resettlement operation carried out by the government since 2009 in which a greater part of the population of Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi districts have been benefited. The Jaffna district also houses a considerable 156,383 of the resettled population whereas Mannar district has faced relatively less disturbance as a lesser number of resettled population and IDPs were counted there. It should be noted here that though people are described as displaced in keeping with the technicalities of the EVE 2011methodology, all of them are not waiting for an opportunity to go back to their former places of residence and that a considerable portion of them appears to be willingly settled individuals or households in their present habitat. This could be due to the effects of long IDP status or other personal reasons.However it is also possible that those who have made themselves at home in their present homes would still maintain that displacement is the reason for their stay at the current residence According to table 3.1.9 almost 90% of the inward -migration of the Northern province is within the province and 68% of the movements are from other districts within the Northern province. On inward migration to Northern province from outside the province, Puttlam district in the Wayamba province is the main district from which 11,397 persons have migrated in to the Northern Province and almost 70% of them (8,015) have settled themselves in the Mannar district.
15
The EVE 2011 shows high inward migration population in Vavuniya district and this is due to the displacements of people in Mannar, Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi districts. Such displaced persons were temporarily sheltered in the Vavuniya district as at June/July 2011, the enumeration period.

OUTWARD-MIGRATION The respondent families of the EVE 2011 were requested to report details about the family members who temporarily stay in other places or members who have permanently left the household to live elsewhere, while he was still a member of the source household. Table 3.1.10 shows a summary of the enumeration aimed to quantify the population so migrated. However EVE 2011, being limited in its scope to the events and the current status in the Northern province, may have under estimated this migrant factor since it does not capture information on instances where the entire family has migrated out of the province. The DCS hopes to quantify such migratory movements in next CPH which would embrace migratory movements of the entire country.

DEATHS AND UNTRACEABLE PERSONS The EVE 2011 paid special attention to deaths and untraceable persons reported in the Northern Province during the last 3 decades since 1982. Family members reported details of deceased or untraceable persons when such death or intractability has taken place while they were still members of the family and the basic information gathered at district level are shown in table 3.1.12. Table 3.1.12: Deaths and untraceable personsby district reported from 1982 to July 2011 District Total Jaffna Mannar Vavuniya Mullaithivu Kilinochchi Total 71201 42410 4912 7925 6346 9608 Dead 61651 38006 4144 6567 5229 7705 Status Untraceable 6352 2539 551 999 799 1464 Not stated 3198 1865 217 359 318 439
EVE 2011 recorded 71,201 cases of deaths/ untraceable persons reported by respondents in the entire Northern province since 1982. Nearly 5% of the cases were partly responded due to the sensitiveness of the status in question and due to various other reasons unstated or not known.

Table 3.1.13 shows the distribution of the reported deaths by district and by year of occurrence. The table was limited to five years from 2005 to 2009 as normalcy returned to the province in 2009 with the elimination of terror. The EVE 2011 reports that the death toll in the Northern province over those 5 years to be 22,329 and one half of the deaths have taken place in the year 2009. In relation to the total size of the population, Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi districts show higher deathsduring the year 2009.

Table 3.1.14 illustrates the deaths occurred from 2005 to 2009 in the Northern Province and their causes. Natural deaths include deaths due to succumbing to diseases, aging, due to natural disasters etc. while other deaths include deaths due to accidents, homicides, suicides, acts of terrorism etc... However 71% of the deaths that occurred in 2009 are reported as being due to extraordinary circumstances but majority of the deaths, prior to and beyond that, are reported to be the results of natural causes.

EVE 2011 has been reported with 4,156 cases (Table 3.1.15) of untraceable persons during this period from 2005 to 2009 and also that a majority, 63%, of such untraceable persons were reported to have been last cited in 2009. However it should be noted that due to the conditions that prevailed in this province there had always been a degree of untraceability among the people throughout and the causes of such untraceabilitymay be due to natural disasters like Tsunami as well.

3.2 JAFFNA DISTRICT
Total population 567,229
21
According to the CPH 1981, the Jaffna district, which included the land area of Kilinochchi district as well then, accommodated 830,552 persons. Under the present boundaries, which exclude the area of Kilinochchi district, the Jaffna district housed 738,788 persons in 1981. This incidentally registered a 1.6 % average annual growth rate from the 635,117 people reported in 1971 in the district. However according to the special enumeration carried out by the DCS in 2007, Jaffna district with its population strength reduced to 559,616 showed -1% negative average annual population growth rate. Now in mid2011, EVE 2011 has registered a population of 567,229 persons.

Table 3.2.1 shows the distribution of Jaffna district population by DS/ AGA division and by Ethnicity. Ethnically Sri Lankan Tamil population dominates the Jaffna district with 98.9% population share while other ethnic groups enjoyed 1.1% population share in the year 2011.The CPH 1981 reported the ethnic proportion of Sri Lankan Tamils in Jaffna district as 95.2% and that was when the present Kilinochchi district was also included under Jaffna.

Figure3.2.1: Distribution of population among DS/AGA Divisions - Jaffna district 2011
As highlighted in figure 3.2.1, the largest population in Jaffna District is recorded from Valikamam East (Kopay) DS division. Each of the DS divisions in Nallur, Thenmaradchi (Chavakachcheri), Valikamam South (Uduvil) and Valikamam South -West (Sandilipay) has more than 50,000 people. Delft recorded the lowest population (3,861). According to the residential sectors, 19.8% or 112,403 of the total Jaffna district population is urban population and in excess of 2 third of the total Jaffna district urban population (67.7% or 76,080) is living in Jaffna Municipal Council (MC) limits. Chavekachcheri, Point pedro and Valvettiturai Urban Council (UC) areas are the other local urban authorities in the district and respective population figures in the 3 urban limits are 15,780, 12,161 and 8,382 (see Table 3.1.4). The urban population in Jaffna district according to CPH 1981 was 270,573, which was 36.6% of the then total district population. This highly unusual reduction of urban population seen in Jaffna district over the period from 1981 to 2011 echoes the depth of destruction; terrorism unleashes on human development processes of any society.

Table No. 3.2.2 represents the distribution of population by age and gender in Jaffna District. According to the table female population is greater than male population resulting in the sex ratio being 90.4 males per 100 females in the district. However, among the young population, aged less than 25 years, the male population is higher than the female population, a trend that is typical in developing countries. Total dependents in Jaffna district is 215,946. This is made up of the 137,231personschild population of less than 15 years aged and 78,715 persons elderly population of 60 and over years aged. Therefore the dependency ratio in Jaffna district is 61.5 dependents per 100 of 15 to 59 years aged persons. A clear drop in child population is seen from the beginning of 1990's (persons aged 20 and below) in which the peek number of child births was also reported. Although the elderly population of 65 and above years aged shows a sudden drop, Jaffna population comprises 29,581 (5.2%)older population aged 70 years and above.

3.3 MANNAR DISTRICT
Population - 95,430
25
Population size in Mannar district in 1982 was 106,235 and since then there had not been a reliable population count up to 2011. The EVE 2011 reports Mannar population as 95,430 persons and the table 3.3.1 below, cells them by Ethnicity and DS/ AGA division. Table 3.3.1: Population by Ethnicity and DS divisionin Mannar District- 2011 SL Tamil 77,653 38,316 12,839 6,721 16,754 3,023 Ethnicity Indian Tamil 1,136 475 106 373 164 18

Ethnically, Mannar district has 16.9% Muslim, 81.4% of Sri Lankan Tamil, 1.2 % Indian Tamil and 0.48% Sinhala populations as at 2011. Majority of the Muslim population lives in the Mannar town and in Musalai DS divisions. As a result in the Musalai DS division the majority is Muslim population (62%) whereas in all other DS divisions of the district the majority is Sri Lankan Tamils. In 1981 however, 26.1% of the total Mannar district population was ethnically Muslim and Sinhala and Sri Lankan Tamil population proportions were 8.2% and 51.3% respectively. At this point it is statistically clear that migration of Muslim and Sinhala families out of the province is the major reason behind the population reduction seen in the Northern province. Figure3.3.1: Distribution of population among DS/ AGA Divisionin Mannar District 2011
Figure 3.3.1, clearly depicts that among the DS divisions in Mannar District, there is high concentration of population in Mannar town compared to the rest of divisions. The DS division Madhu recorded the lowest population.
26
23.2% of the Mannar district population (2 2,183) is urban population who solely live in Mannar UC limits (see Table 3.1.4). The CPH 1981 reported urban population in the Mannar district was 13,931 (13.1%) and hence the district shows a positive urbanization yet under the prevailed conditions.

Table No. 3.3.2 shows the distribution of population by age and gender for Mannar District. According to the table, both male and female populations are approximately the same irrespective of the age groups. Therefore the Sex ratio in Mannar district is almost 100%. Dependency ratio in Mannar district is comparatively low at 59.1% due to the presence of a low (7.9%) elderly population aged 60 years and above. Though Mannar district also shows a pattern of a decline in child population over the last 2 decades, almost 40% of the Mannar population is made of young persons aged less than 40 years as at 2011.

3.4 VAVUNIYA DISTRICT
Population - 164,852
28
CPH 1981 reported the Vavuniya district population as 95,428 and it is 164,852 according to EVE 2011. This population expansion is not due to natural growth and it consists of ad hoc, but long term scattered settlements and temporarily sheltered recent IDPs awaiting settlement in other districts of the Northern province.

According to table 3.4.1, ethnically the population in Vavuniya district is 10% Sinhala, 81.7% Sri Lankan Tamil and 7% Muslim. Vavuniya district holds the highest Sinhala population proportion for any district in the Northern province at above 10%. This population is mainly concentrated in the Vavuniya South DS division where nearly 97% of the population is Sinhala. However, comparatively the Sinhala population proportion in Vavuniya district has come down from the 16.6% reported in 1981 but the Muslim population reported at 6.8%in 1981, appears to remain unaffected. The Tamil population is concentrated in the Vavuniya town DS division, in the sparsely populated Vavuniya North and in Vengalacheddikulam DS divisions. Muslim population is located in the Vavuniya town and also in Vengalacheddikulam DS division. Figure3.4.1: Distribution of population among DS Divisions in Vavuniya District 2011
Figure 3.4.1, clearly depicts the spatial distribution of population among DS divisions in Vavuniya District. According to the figure, population in Vavuniya DS division was over 100,000 and that is over 65% of the districts population.
29
