In a passionate address on World Population Day, Hon. Dorcas Toffey, MP for Jomoro, highlighted the crucial role Ghana’s youthful population can play in shaping the country’s future.
With over 57% of citizens under 25, the MP emphasised that this demographic dividend can be a powerful asset if harnessed through intentional investments in health, education, and employment.
Hon. Toffey noted that Ghana’s population of over 33 million presents both opportunities and challenges, requiring strategic and inclusive responses to meet the rising needs of citizens.
She stressed the importance of prioritising maternal and reproductive health services, education, and job creation to unlock the potential of Ghana’s youth.
By empowering young people, Ghana can tap into a dynamic workforce, consumer base, and national potential, driving social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Hon. Toffey’s call to action emphasises the need for bold decisions to harness the benefits of Ghana’s population growth and create a brighter future for all.
