The Ranking Member on Parliament's Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has raised concern over rising youth unemployment in Ghana following the latest economic data.

He stated that available figures indicate the national youth unemployment rate has increased from 32% to 32.5% in 2025, signaling a worsening situation for young job seekers.

He made the remarks while reacting to a statement presented on the floor of Parliament by the Minister for Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, on the current state of the economy.

According to him, the trend is worrying and requires urgent policy interventions to address job creation challenges and improve economic opportunities for the youth.

The development adds to ongoing national debates about employment, cost of living, and the effectiveness of economic recovery measures.
