Abstract

The Ghana Social Development Outlook (GSDO) has been consistently published biennially by the Social Division of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana, Legon, since 2012. The GSDO is the flagship publication of ISSER’s Social Division. It has been published since 2012, making the current 2020 edition the fifth in the series. Inspired by ISSER’s motto, “Knowledge for Development”, the GSDO is targeted at the Government of Ghana, policy makers, researchers and is also meant to provide course material for teaching and academic reference. It projects the inter-disciplinarity of social development as well as the critical synergies between social realities, social policy and development. The GSDO aims to provide a timely and authentic mouthpiece, with a focus on the Ghanaian social space, and to particularly inform the Government of Ghana’s social transformation and social protection agenda.
