A Quantitative and Theoretical Analysis of Ghana’s Internal Migration, Economic Growth and poverty Reduction: A Disaggregated Approach, from 1980 to 2012*

Abstract

The study here was meant to examine the consequence of Ghana's government spending on economic growth, internal migration and poverty reduction in Ghana using a disaggregated approach. It reveals that intensifying government outflow has not yielded any meaningful development in Ghana. Many researches had been conducted on the actual link connecting government expenditure, internal migration, economic growth and poverty reduction. Many of the studies until today have used the aggregate approach which has not yielded the desired results hence there is the need to vary the methodology.
