Three-quarters of households in Ghana experienced a decline in income after mid-March

The Ghana Statistical Service has released findings from their households and jobs tracker survey, a nationally representative telephone-based longitudinal survey of 3,265 households across the country.

The survey found that covid-19 has had a substantial impact on household incomes with the results suggesting that over 22 million Ghanaians have seen their incomes fall since March. The findings also reveal that majority of respondents were understandably concerned about the impact of covid-19.

We will continue to explore the findings in further detail. In the meantime, read more in the household and job survey report here.
