In order to identify the relationship between demographic, economic and socio-characteristics and poverty among households in Madulla Division, a regression analysis is used. Further, this study examines the income distribution among household by using micro-level income data.The regression analysis clearly indicates that, variables such as dependency ratio and size of the households significantly and positively affect the poverty level. We also find that income level of the household and number of employed person of the household significantly and negatively affect poverty level.
