Review demonstrates historical shifts in gender dynamics of employment in Ghana, revealing persistent gaps, suggesting education may boost women's employability.
The review examines gender dynamics in employment opportunities within both urban and rural areas of Ghana over a historical perspective. A comparative analysis using secondary data sources such as census reports and academic literature. The review reveals that historically, women in rural areas faced significantly lower participation rates in formal employment compared to urban regions, with a notable shift towards more equitable opportunities over the last two decades. The study concludes by highlighting the need for continued policy interventions aimed at closing gender gaps in both sectors. Policy recommendations include increasing access to education and training programmes specifically tailored for women in rural areas to enhance their employability.
