Unemployment and underemployment are global development challenges.
The situation in Ghana is no different.
In 2016, it was projected that, given the country's growing youth population, 300,000 new jobs would need to be created each year to absorb the increasing numbers of unemployed young people.
Yet the employment structure of the Ghanaian economy has not changed much from several decades ago.
Most jobs are low skill, requiring limited cognitive or technology know-how, reflected in low earn.
