Ghana’s minimum wage is one of the lowest in West Africa.
The country’s national daily minimum wage currently stands at GHS11.82 translating into a little above $2 dollars.
This minimum wage is normally reviewed annually.
The current wage was last adjusted in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It went up by 11 percentage points from the 2019 minimum wage of GHS10.65 pesewas.
