Resumen
Descripción
Poverty in Ghana continues to be extensive, particularly for farming households. Low agricultural productivity and the lack of decent work opportunities, along with a poorly educated workforce pose great challenges for poverty eradication. The lack of comprehensive policy formulation and legal mechanisms hamper efforts to promote social and gender equality in rural labor markets. Policies that take into account the multiple dimensions in which social and gender inequalities interact, partic ularly in rural areas, will support decent employment initiatives and income generating activities. The Ghana profile on policy and legislation developed by the Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division (ESW) of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations aims to improve the understanding of the available policy and legislation mechanisms that are relevant for addressing gender and social inequalities in rural labor markets.
