The Economy Is Improving, But Where Are the Jobs? NDPC Sparks debate on Growth Without Employment

Concerns over Ghana's "jobless economic growth" have reignited following the National Development Planning Commission's (NDPC) assessment that economic gains are yet to translate into meaningful employment opportunities. While government points to improving macroeconomic indicators, infrastructure development and ongoing reforms as signs of recovery, critics argue that persistent youth unemployment and poverty remain the country's biggest challenges. Analysts say sustainable job creation will require stronger industrialisation, greater private sector participation, institutionalised long-term development policies and effective implementation of employment initiatives to ensure economic growth benefits more Ghanaians. #mattersarising
