Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, the Minister-Designate for Labour, Jobs, and Employment, has hailed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) proposed 24-hour economy as a transformative strategy aimed at enhancing productivity, creating employment opportunities, and improving the livelihoods of Ghana's workforce.
During his vetting by Parliament on Thursday, January 30, Pelpuo shared his vision for the policy's potential impact on Ghana's labour landscape, particularly in addressing youth unemployment and improving workers' wages.
The 24-hour economy, which was championed by former President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, aims to extend economic activities beyond the traditional 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
