Abstract

The review examines the causes of poverty in Ghana since 1992, shedding light on the multifaceted factors that have contributed to the persistence of poverty in the country. By analysing a range of factual information and empirical evidence, this review aims to provide a deep understanding of the root causes of poverty in Ghana, considering economic, social, and institutional factors. The review discusses key factors such as limited access to quality education and healthcare, inadequate infrastructure, agricultural challenges, income inequality, and governance issues. The findings of this review can inform policymakers, development practitioners, and researchers in designing effective poverty reduction strategies tailored to the specific context of Ghana.
