Youth unemployment now a national security threat — Economic Fighters League

Fred Otu-Larbi, Head of Strategic Research at Economic Fighters League, the pressure group argued that Ghana's growing youth unemployment crisis requires structural reforms that prioritise investment in people over procurement-led public spending.

It called for a comprehensive reorientation of public policy towards solving national development problems through investment in people, arguing that such an approach would simultaneously reduce unemployment and accelerate economic transformation.

The Economic Fighters League (Fighters) has called for a fundamental shift in Ghana's economic management, urging successive governments to replace what it describes as a "procurement economy" with an investment-driven development model capable of creating large-scale employment for young people.
