The estimates reveal that hourly earnings of men and women in Ghana are similar and respond positively to food consumption and, to a lesser extent, to nutritional status and negatively to additional hours worked.

Since 1983, the Government of Ghana has pursued an Economic Recovery Programme (ERP) initiated in 1983 and a Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) implemented 1986. The programmes were aimed at turning around over a decade of decline in the economy.
