- Notes
- CBSL 'Statistics on Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) Registrations by Month'. A different, related measure from LK.LAB.FOREIGN (ESS chapter 1: annual departures by country/skill/gender) - SLBFE registrations count intent to work abroad, not actual departures, and are monthly here vs annual there; not merged. Months sum to the printed annual Total - see check_migration_totals().
