The Caucus for Democratic Governance, Ghana (CDG-GH) has announced a forthcoming public forum titled “The Alarming Exodus of Skilled Labour from Ghana: Political and Economic Strategies Aimed at Trend Reversal an Immediate Necessity.”
It is set to address the growing crisis of skilled labour migration out of the country.
Describing the situation as a “brain drain that affects the country’s productivity, competitiveness, and public services,” CDG-GH warns that immediate action is essential if Ghana is to retain its skilled workforce.
The forum will feature three distinguished speakers who will explore solutions across the social, economic, and political spheres.
“Our speakers are well-versed in their fields,” CDG-GH states, “and they will provide valuable insights into the migration of skilled labour, the economic environment, and political solutions to halt this concerning trend.”
In the press release, CDG-GH highlights the urgency of reversing the exodus through a “multi-faceted approach” that includes offering “competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and improved working conditions.”
They argue that without a commitment to providing competitive benefits for professionals, skilled workers will continue to leave for “better opportunities abroad.”
CDG-GH also emphasises the need to foster entrepreneurship and enhance local services to retain top talents.
“By upgrading social services, healthcare infrastructure, and fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, Ghana can begin to reverse this trend,” the statement explains.
Additionally, CDG-GH calls for the Ghanaian diaspora to be engaged in development efforts, stating that “actively engaging our diaspora community to return and contribute their expertise will be crucial.”
The forum will not only address these factors but will also discuss actionable policies.
CDG-GH expressed hope for the forum’s impact, stating, “We aim to provide the right answers to address the issues responsible for the mass exodus.”
CDG-GH underscores the potential for this event to drive meaningful change: “Ghana’s future economic growth and brighter prospects for the next generation depend on keeping our skilled workforce at home.”
