Case Study
Text A, Paragraph 7
Major challenges such as unemployment and poverty persist, with unemployment in Ghana around 7.9% in 2020 and the poverty rate at approximately 21.4% in 2019. The informal sector, in which tax revenue is not collected and economic data is not counting towards GDP, is estimated to employ around 30% of the potential workforce. Bringing the informal economy into the taxable formal economy could create significant benefits for government revenue and crucial funding for development.
