Unemployment has been a persistent issue in Ghana's Fourth Republic, despite repeated promises of job creation from presidential candidates. The unemployment rate has been consistently higher among the youth.

Youth unemployment is also a significant concern, with the educated youth facing higher unemployment rates as well as the less educated despite numerous promises on job creation.

Just like we witness every election year with various presidential candidates, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, has renewed his commitment to generating millions of jobs if elected in Ghana’s 2024 general elections.

He emphasized that job creation would be a key focus of his administration to address unemployment and strengthen the economy.

He said this at a youth-centered event titled “Engagement with the Youth” on Sunday, November 3, 2024.
