Ghana – Addressing youth unemployment in Ghana by supporting the agro-processing and tourism sectors (Ernest Aryeetey, Priscilla Twumasi Baffour, and Festus Ebo Turkson, Brookings)

Uncategorized

As elsewhere in Africa, the issue of jobless growth in Ghana has become a major concern, particularly due to rising unemployment among the youth. Services have emerged as the driver of growth in Ghana, contrary to the experiences in East Asia and other newly industrialized countries where manufacturing exports led growth and added capacity to absorb low- to medium-skilled workers. In fact, in Ghana, manufacturing has performed abysmally, with an average growth rate of 3.2 percent between 2008 to 2017.
