Increasing social and economic inequality, such as high poverty, is seen as the biggest challenge in achieving the development goal. There is a lot of talk that inequality is often centered on economic inequality. But in a society with a high level of racial discrimination such as Sri Lanka, it is essential that equality be prioritized on social, educational and political grounds. For example, it is important to eliminate inequality, provide equal opportunities for all people, and create equal access to services. The goal of reducing inequality, one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, covers a wide range of issues.

Among them in particular:

Maintaining a sustainably higher than 40 percent income of the grassroots population above the national average by 2030 should motivate all politically, socio-economically, by 2030 and strengthen equality beyond the differences of age, gender, caste, ethnicity, race or economic or other status. Eliminate inequality, and promote appropriate laws, policies, and practices, eliminate discriminatory laws, policies, and practices.

Only 13 percent of Sri Lanka's population earns less than 50 percent of the average national income (2016). Gender - Many projects are being carried out globally and nationally with emphasis on various social inequalities on the basis of gender and diversity. Many efforts and legislation are being welcomed, especially for women, to gain an appropriate role in education, industry and politics. But the emphasis is not on eliminating economic and other social inequalities. Poverty alleviation alone cannot reduce social inequality. Poverty alleviation is only one factor in reducing social inequality. Despite the excellent quality of poverty alleviation, education and health services compared to other countries, Sri Lanka has significant inequality at the social level.

To properly manage economic inequality, socio-economic issues such as poverty alleviation, asset distribution, borrowing / lending methods, and trade values, as stated by Islam, should be presented as national, regional, social justice, and social development policies, not just within the Muslim community. Rather than being a religion-centered policy in a multi-religious, multi-religious society, it should be presented in a way that is beneficial to the whole community and country.

An average of 10 percent of Sri Lanka's GDP depends on the remittances sent by expatriate Sri Lankans to their families. One in eight households in Sri Lanka depends on this foreign business income. The Sri Lankan government has set the minimum income for expatriates in 2017 at US $ 300. So defining their minimum wage and securing their family income. But the government continues to lag behind in properly allocating resources at home, providing job opportunities in a fair manner and pursuing the right policies for them. Racial contradictions exacerbate the situation; Has worsened.

Discrimination in occupations in Sri Lanka is rampant at all levels, from youth to higher positions. All state-owned enterprises and delivery systems are politicized, except that the principles for awarding occupations and positions on the basis of merit are found in mere law and circulars, with merit being given priority. Thus the talented get a refuge for the best businesses abroad. Eventually young people who stay in politics and some of the officials who adorn positions in political patronage will remain in the country. In this situation, how can we expect an effective state machinery and youth strength in this country.

Learned, and sectoral experts, socio-political leaders who must act against all social injustices; A state / social machine has been created in this country which has become an element of injustice, corruption, bribery, violating human social values ​​for positions. Individuals who speak out for injustice, industry experts, are seen as unsupported by the people. While hatred of injustice is seen as the greatest religious duty, those who speak and act openly and implicitly for justice still do not see why this community. We fail to give them the political and social powers they deserve in a timely manner. The time for change has been ripe for many years. It simply does not change very quickly.
