Why Ghana Is Considered a Less Economically Developed Country (LEDC)

• Low per capita income: Limited spending power for basic needs.
• High poverty rates: Significant portion lives on <$1.90/day.
• Limited education/healthcare access: Overcrowded, understaffed facilities, especially rural.
• High unemployment: Particularly among youth, worsening inequality.
• Economic vulnerability: Dependent on commodity prices, global demand, natural disasters.

Despite recent growth, these factors keep Ghana in the LEDC category.
