What happened
The difficulty of providing jobs for school leavers is cited as a major test for the government in Accra. Ghana's population stood at 30.8 million during the 2021 census and is projected to reach approximately 34.4 million by 2026. The country has a large working-age population, which made up 60.4 percent of the population in 2021.

Why it matters
