Ghana’s low-wage structure rooted in colonial labour system — TUC’s Dr Otoo
Deputy Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr Kwabena Nyarko Otoo, has attributed Ghana’s low salaries and wages to labour practices introduced during the colonial era.
He argued that although colonial rule had ended, the low-wage structure it created had remained embedded in Ghana’s labour market, contributing to the persistently low earnings of many workers.
Dr Otoo said the colonial wage policy compelled employees to remain at work for longer as they struggled to achieve their financial goals, helping employers maintain a stable workforce.
