The wealthiest decile now consume 6.8 times the amount than the poorest 10%, up from 6.4 times in 2006.
The report specifically aims to assess poverty trends in Ghana since the early 1990s, estimate inequality levels and trends in Ghana over the same period, determine to what extent the very poorest are benefiting from Ghana’s economic growth, and assess the relationships between growth, poverty reduction and inequality.
