Ghana

A life expectancy of 65.5 years, combined with a moderate infant mortality rate of 28.2 per 1,000 live births, suggests better-than-average health outcomes compared to the West African regional standard, reflecting improvements in public health and sanitation.

Ghana maintains a high fertility rate of 3.40 children per woman. This ensures continued population growth and a youthful demographic structure, placing future demands on education, healthcare, and job creation.

Nearly 90% of the population has access to electricity, which is a strong indicator of development and infrastructure investment, especially when compared to many regional peers. This high access rate supports economic activity and improves quality of life.

Over 57% of Ghana's population now lives in urban areas, indicating a rapid shift away from rural lifestyles. This high rate of urbanization puts immense pressure on infrastructure, housing, and public services in major cities like Accra.
