Labour Standards Application in Ghana: Influences, Patterns and Solutions

The debased condition under which people work is pervasive in contemporary societies and is especially ubiquitous in the so-called developing world. Yet, internationally recognized standards for the regulation of working conditions abound and are often applauded, without the passion for their application. Otherwise, why should a country like Ghana, which has one of the highest numbers of ratified labour standards conventions, continue to be fraught with poor working conditions? This undoubtedly simple but fundamental question is what this study sought to answer. Earlier attempts to answer this question have suffered from the lack of rich empirical data and compelling theoretical convictions. In view of this, “Labour Standards Application in Ghana: Influences, Patterns and Solutions” may be considered a valuable contribution to the treatise of the labour standards phenomenon.
