Description
Built for those displaced by the expansion of an industrial port, New Takoradi is a town shaped by private sector investment. Migration aspirations are high as many young adults struggle to make a living.
Key Takeaways

- International out-migration is viewed as a way to escape poverty. Most young adults (86%) would migrate to a richer country if given the chance.
- There is substantial irregular migration. Almost half (44%) of young adults know of someone who has been deported – or have themselves been deported.
