World Population Day celebrated annually on 11th July is to raise awareness of pressing global population challenges.

This year's theme underscores the critical role of Ghana's youthful population in shaping sustainable development.

The 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC) recorded 30.8 million total population and out of this, 12 million were youthful between the ages of 15 and 24.

This youthful population can bring several potential benefits to the economy, but it can also pose certain challenges if not harnessed properly.
