主题：An Evaluation of Youth Employment Programs in Ghana: Focusing on its Effectiveness as a Route to Ending Youth Unemployment (NEET)

内容简介:The research thoroughly examines the impacts of Youth Employment Programs (YEPs) in Ghana, specifically targeting youth unemployment and socio-economic progress. Using longitudinal data and robust research methods, it investigates aspects like employment rates, skill development, entrepreneurship, income, and job quality before and after YEP participation. The study finds that YEPs significantly reduce youth unemployment by enhancing employment rates and income levels, while also fostering entrepreneurship and improving job quality. Skill development is also highlighted as a key benefit. However, effective implementation necessitates a tailored approach to ensure inclusivity and maximize socio-economic benefits across various youth demographics.
