The Chief Executive Officer of Dalex Finance, Joe Jackson, has said that government efforts to create jobs for young people remain insufficient after 16 months in office.
Speaking at a roundtable discussion on April 30, which reviewed the administration’s performance over the past year and a half, he argued that expectations on tackling youth unemployment have not been met.
“If we talk about jobs, that is the weakest link. We are still not creating enough jobs for the young people of this country,” he claimed.
“So for me, the question really is, what is been done on transformation. Unless you are the rich, you can’t help but saying this government has achieved stabilisation,” he added.
Mr. Jackson suggested that despite policy interventions and public commitments, the rate and scale of job creation for young people are still not meeting national demand.
He made the comments at the JoyBusiness Roundtable, a discussion assessing the performance of the Mahama administration.
