The Student's Hope and the Reality of Unemployment
We attend school daily, fingers crossed, keeping hopes alive for immediate employment after national service. This has been the story for years. Unfortunately, unemployment has risen like never before. Hearing over-inflated figures about job creation—2.1 million, 2.3 million, or even 2.5 million—is nerve-racking. Yet, unemployment continues to loom over us. Your guess is as good as mine: someone, somewhere, in a cozy air-conditioned office, isn’t telling the truth.
A Glimpse Into 2025 and Beyond
As students, this discussion is crucial. It prepares you for what to expect regarding employment or unemployment in 2025 and beyond. Historically, every election year brings a wave of promises. Political parties understand the electorate's demand for jobs but often fail to deliver once in power. However, they transform into potential employers when in opposition. Pay attention, as the coming insights may guide your decisions in 2025.
Promises, Policies, and Manifestos: What’s on the Table?
The NPP
The ruling party, NPP, has launched its 2024 manifesto with bold promises. They aim to create millions of jobs and revamp the struggling economy. Their initiatives include youth training in digital skills and tax incentives for small-scale businesses.
The NDC
After eight years in opposition, the NDC is promoting a "24-hour economy" policy. This plan envisions round-the-clock factory operations, tripling employment opportunities. They promise to steer the country out of its current economic challenges with this ambitious idea.
The Movement for Change
Tipped as a strong contender, this party has introduced its Great Transformational Plan (GTP). They promise an industrial revolution, fostering industries to generate jobs, particularly for the youth. Their campaign is anchored on new ideas, claiming innovation unseen during their time with the NPP.
The New Force
With the slogan “Anidaso) aba” (Hope has come), this emerging party led by Nana Kwame Bediako resonates with the youth. Their research highlights potential in sectors like agriculture and mining. They aim to employ hundreds of thousands annually, leveraging Ghana’s untapped resources.
