Ghana experienced 6% GDP growth in 2025, but this expansion has been labelled “jobless” due to underperformance in the industrial sector. The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) identifies weak industrial output as the primary reason for the disconnect between economic growth and job creation. Despite reaching its overall growth target, the economy failed to translate gains into significant employment opportunities. This suggests structural issues hindering the industrial sector's ability to absorb a growing workforce. The NDPC’s assessment highlights a critical need to focus on strengthening industry to ensure future economic expansion benefits Ghanaians through employment. The report underscores the importance of diversifying the economy beyond sectors currently driving growth. This situation demands policy interventions to stimulate industrial development and foster job creation.
