Ato Forson says Ghana’s New Economy must create decent jobs for young people

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson says Ghana’s emerging New Economy must be capable of creating decent and productive jobs on a large scale to give young people a meaningful stake in the country’s future.

The Finance Minister said the engagements would continue at the University of Ghana as part of efforts to deepen conversations on the New Economy and its potential to create jobs and expand opportunities for young Ghanaians.

He said the success of the New Economy should not be measured only by economic growth, but also by its ability to generate sustainable employment opportunities for the country’s growing youth population.
