Ghana adds 330,000 jobs yet youth unemployment crisis deepens alarmingly

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Possible explanations include skills mismatches where youth lack competencies employers seek, credential inflation requiring excessive qualifications for entry positions, inadequate information connecting jobseekers to vacancies, and discrimination based on networks or backgrounds rather than merit.
62% : Job quality, productivity, and economic security matter equally for household welfare and development outcomes.
61% : Expanding quality service employment requires investments in education, technology infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks enabling modern service industries including finance, information technology, professional services, and tourism.
58% : Rather than forcing formalization imposing unsustainable costs, policies might focus on improving informal sector productivity through access to credit, training, market linkages, and gradual integration into regulatory frameworks offering benefits alongside obligations.
50% : Limited government fiscal capacity restricts public employment expansion and subsidy programs.
