Ghana’s 6% economic growth not translated into jobs – NDPC

The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) has raised concerns over Ghana’s employment situation, describing the country’s recent economic growth as largely “jobless” due to its limited impact on job creation.

According to the commission, while the economy recorded growth during the period under review, the industrial sector, which is expected to play a major role in driving job creation, underperformed.

According to him, the limited growth recorded in other industrial activities affected the country’s employment prospects, as industries that should have expanded and absorbed more workers failed to reach their expected levels.
