In a recent study, esteemed economist Professor Stephen Adei compared the productivity of workers from Ghana and Togo, concluding that Ghanaian workers exhibit lower productivity levels compared to their Togolese counterparts on a global scale.
Professor Adei emphasized that his research findings indicate that Togolese workers consistently deliver superior work quality in comparison to Ghanaian workers.
He further noted that employers frequently favor hiring Togolese workers due to their higher levels of productivity.
“…The Ghanaian worker is one of the least productive workers in the world when they are in Ghana. In fact, was it ten years ago the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences asked me to give a lecture on productivity in Ghana and I found that in Africa given the same conditions, qualifications and everything else, the Ghanaian worker was among the least productive worker in Africa.”
He added “To me what shocked me in that research was that the Togolese worker was more productive than the Ghanaian which I wanted to see evidence of until I started looking at Togolese workers in construction in Ghana.
“Their productivity is far superior to Ghanaian workers. Masons, electricians, tailors, and often people think they are Ghanaians because they speak Ewe, but they are not Ghanaians. And some of the construction people look for them because of their quality work,” he stated.
