The Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU-Ghana) has challenged the government to speed up the formalisation of the informal sector towards boosting the national economy for accelerated growth.
The Secretary of ICU – Ghana, Morgan Ayawine, who made the call noted that the government’s agenda to properly formalize the economy through the adoption and promotion of digitisation is being too slow to achieve the desired results.
Mr Ayawine was addressing a durbar to climax the 50th Anniversary of the Ghana Hairdressers and Beauticians Association (GHABA).
“The informal sector of Ghana’s economy has lived up to expectations of generating self-employment for women who constitute a larger portion of Ghana’s population and who play pivotal roles in supporting Ghana’s informal economy,” He said.
Members of the Association are urged to leverage on technology to remain in business.
