摘要

《就业跟踪调查》旨在为政府实施的就业创造项目提供可靠数据，以实现对其有效监控和评估。这些数据将用于监控减贫策略（PRS）和千年发展目标（MDGs）的进展。加纳的增长与减贫计划（GPRP）提供了一个协调一致的方案，旨在实现包括MDGs在内的行业、国家和国际发展成果。失业是减少贫困的努力中一个关键的挑战。因此，2006年的政策导向是向企业提供各种激励措施，以促进生产性投资、创造就业机会和扩张。主题：以人为本，以业为基。

调查还收集了包括创造就业岗位、失业情况、培训（包括在职培训和正式培训）以及技能水平在内的多个指标。最后，调查评估了国家青年就业计划（NYEP）、劳动力市场需求和职位空缺、工作质量和相关劳动力市场问题的影响。
