John Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that Ghana’s present eight-hour daily work system is “inadequate to create the production, productivity, and well-paying jobs required for the revival of Ghana’s currently bankrupt economy.”
Speaking at an online event last Sunday, he stated that the existing eight-hour working day is insufficient to generate enough goods and services for export.
According to Mr. Mahama, his 24-Hour Economy proposal seeks to solve Ghana’s severe concerns regarding youth unemployment and production deficiencies by implementing a round-the-clock economic model.

Mr. Mahama explained how the 24-Hour Economy will be implemented if he is elected President, saying he will create an enabling environment with deliberate policies for businesses and government institutions to operate 24/7 in three eight-hour shifts, in addition to the traditional eight-hour system.
