Abstract
This study classifies the rural livelihoods of Tamil households in post-conflict northern Sri Lanka and identifies characteristics unique to them. Livelihood capital indicators are calculated in order to understand the current situation of household livelihoods. The results of factor analysis and cluster analysis show that the rural livelihoods of Tamil households in the area can be divided into six types, each of which can be explained by the degree of two factors, the social capital factor and the physical capital factor.
