A Labour Expert, Abraham Yalley, says, the rising numbers of unemployed graduates should be a matter of concern to duty bearers.
Mr. Yalley, reacting to reports by the Ghana Statistical Service, GSS that 1.9 million youth in the country are idle.
GSS in its annual Household Income and Expenditure Survey indicates that in the third quarter of last year,1.9 million youth in the country, aged 15-35 were not in education, employment or training.
Females constituted predominantly 1.2 million of the youth not in education, employment or training, compared with 715,691 males.
The number, however, represents a significant decline in the numbers as compared to the same period the previous year. In comparison with quarter three last year with the same period in 2022, NEET fell by 5.9 per cent from 24.1 to 18.2 per cent.
In all, the number of youth NEET decreased by almost half a million (462,998) over the period.
According to Mr. Yalley, must put priority on job creation to halt the continuous growth of graduate unemployment.
As part of his proposed measures in curbing this menace, Mr Yalley called for setting up industries to enhance the local economy.
He noted that leaders just lack the political will to implement homegrown policies to see the local economy thrive.
