productivity

The Ghanaian worker’s productivity may not be that low; perhaps Kwashiorkor (deficiency) wages rendered it so!

Many research have found the Ghanaian worker to be of an extremely low productivity level: I read a UN study, published on Ghanaweb, which found, using wages of Ghanaian workers that a Ghanaian worker is too unproductive to cause any meaningful contribution to economic growth. This finding, as well as many other similar ones, has been readily accepted by Ghanaians because it’s in tune with the conventional wisdom that African workers are unproductive and also because it was done by UN (For some reason, most people regard the sayings of the UN to be the indubitable Gospel).


The lesson for today is Efficiency Wages!

Many workers in Ghana feel like unappreciated housewives! Why? Because they feel what they earn are far less than the value of their services they offer (Could any inspired soul do a simple survey analysis to test this claim?). I wonder, however, if managers/employers/bosses know the consequences of cheating the worker! As it's in the best interest of the president to satisfy the military, the hirer better not piss off the hired! Why?
