ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses three concerns respect to the implementation of Structural Adjustment Program in Ghana. The concerns include: the organizational challenges the Structural Adjustment Program poses to workers, mainly those who are unionized under the umbrella of the Ghana Trades Union Congress and how Ghana's Structural Adjustment Program is impacting the status of women employees, the education, training and employment opportunities available to girls and women. They also include: some of the social and economic outcomes of the Structural Adjustment Program as they relate to human resource development with emphasis on education, training and employment opportunities. The Ghana Trades Union Congress, the nation's labor federation contends that unemployment rates might be higher. The new type of unemployment entails a waste of human resources, developed at high public cost and poses new and severe public policy challenges. Women used the expanded educational opportunities to acquire qualifications for employment in the civil service and in the public sector that grew exponentially.
