The expected shift in demographics in Ghana, with one million more women than projected by 2050, will have significant implications for various aspects of Ghanaian society, including economic development, healthcare, social structures, and gender dynamics.

The Statistical Service forecasted a yearly increase of 711,706 people from 2021 to 2030, estimating the population to reach 37.24 million by the close of this decade.

By addressing the challenges and opportunities of this demographic shift, Ghana can harness its potential for positive transformation and long-term progress.

Through initiatives focused on gender equality, healthcare improvements, and economic empowerment for women, Ghana can use this projected disparity as a catalyst for sustainable development and positive change.
