Ghana’s unemployment rate edged down marginally to 13.0% in the third quarter of 2025, pointing to modest labour market gains that remain insufficient to absorb a growing workforce, particularly young people.
Data from the Quarterly Labour Force Survey covering the first three quarters of 2025 show that unemployment declined from 13.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 12.8% in the first quarter of 2025, eased further to 12.6% in the second quarter, before rising again to 13.0% in the third quarter, reflecting an average unemployment rate of 12.8% in the first three quarters of 2025.
