Ghana recorded a significant reduction in the number of youths not in education, employment, or training (NEET) in the third quarter of 2023.

Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) revealed this data on Monday in its 2023 Annual Household Income and Expenditure Survey.

According to the report released Monday, 1.9 million (18.2%) of youths aged 15-35 in Ghana were not in education, employment, or training. Females constituted 1.2 million of the NEET, while males were 715,691.

In the third quarter of 2022, the NEET of the country was 24.1 per cent, which is 5.9 per cent higher than 2023’s NEET (18.2%). This means that the NEET reduced by 462,998 youths in one year.

Young people (18-35 years) constitute 38 per cent of Ghana’s population, a country with over 34 million in population.

“Greater Accra had the highest NEET rate with a little over a quarter (26.9%) of the population 15 to 35 years not engaged in education, employment, or training,” the report stated. “North East Region (19.5%) had the second highest rate with about one in five youth NEET.

“All regions except Bono East (8.3%) had NEET rates in double figures. The NEET rate was higher for youth in urban areas (20.6%) than for rural residents (15.0%).”
