Future face of Sri Lanka’s construction workers

A group of Chinese workers take a break at a construction site in Colombo. The local construction industry is urging the authorities to allow large-scale import of foreign labour due to a shortage of local workers connected to Sri Lanka’s booming construction sector. On the other hand the government is also promising a million new jobs. Whether there are enough local applicants for these vacant positions, is the question. Pic by Amila Gamage
