Research indicates that Ghana’s population has a youthful structure with the youth defined officially as aged 15 –24 years, constituting about one out of every four of the population. Over the past forty years, the number of the youth in the total population of Ghana has increased from 1.1 million in 1960 to 2.3 million in 1984 and to 3.5 million in 2000. The latter constitutes about 22.6 percent of the economically active population. Recent statistics will prove that there has been a marginal increase in the figures above and this is becoming scary by the day.
