The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has emphasized the importance of investing in youth skills and employment. At an event co-organized with the University of Ghana's Regional Institute for Population Studies (RIPS), GSS highlighted the need to intensify efforts to harness the demographic dividend, noting that a third of the population will be aged 15 to 35 years over the next three decades. The Service projected that by 2050, one in every 10 persons in Ghana will be aged 60 years or older, stressing the need for increased focus on savings for retirement, pensions, and social security. The event featured key findings from two recently released publications: the 2021 Population and Housing Census Thematic Report on Population Projections (2021-2050), which provides population projections disaggregated by sex, age, and type of locality to support informed decision-making, and the 2024 revision of the World Population Prospects, a flagship report published by the UN Population Division to provide population data for planning. According to GSS, 15 out of the 16 regions will have populations exceeding one million, with six regions projected to remain predominantly rural by 2050.
