Policy think tank, Institute of Progressive Governance (IPG), has advised former President John Dramani Mahama to stop misinforming the general public that unemployment was better during his time as a president than today.
Using data from the World Bank and the Ghana Statistical Service, IPG explained that the unemployment situation today is far better than during the period Mr.
Mahama presided over the economy.
According to the IPG, the International Labour Organization (ILO) describes an individual as unemployed if the person is 15 years and above (i) has not worked at all in the reference week, (ii) is available to take up work and (iii) actively looking for work.
