Why Ghana’s economic growth is not creating jobs despite strong rebound — Deloitte partner

A Partner at Deloitte Ghana, Yaw Appiah Lartey, has warned that Ghana’s improving economic indicators may paint a positive picture, but the country is still grappling with “jobless growth” as key productive sectors continue to lag behind. Speaking on JoyNews on April 30, Mr Appiah Lartey said despite strong gains in inflation, debt reduction, GDP growth and cedi stability, the real concern is that much of the economic expansion is happening in sectors that are not generating enough employment.
