The construction industry is the second largest contributor to GDP and a significant driver of economic activities in Ghana. Given the importance of the construction industry in boosting the national economy, it is essential to develop effective strategies to keep improving the performance of the industry. To achieve this aim, this research conducted the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis of the Ghanaian construction industry. Underpinned by the SWOT analysis, strategic recommendations are provided to minimise the weaknesses and neutralise the threats that confront the industry, while taking advantage of the strengths and exploiting the opportunities presented to it. These include investment to facilitate innovation and growth, human resource development, development and enforcement of policy and standards, and conducive procurement practice. The recommendations are expected to provide practical and theoretical directions to the industry’s stakeholders on effective ways to improve the industry’s performance.

“…However, the execution of projects at many local governments is faced with challenges such as non-completion to time and cost as well as project abandonment. Whereas, project abandonment among other challenges has consequential effects on all stakeholders (Damoah et al, 2018). Basically, several reasons could trigger the challenges of project execution, this include: non-compliance with the procurement laws, entering into the contract without proper and adequate legal relationship and wrong application of procurement management.…”

Empirical evidence of compliance or otherwise with procurement laws especially in developing nations is limited despite its importance in ensuring quality project delivery. This research assessed compliance with the procurement law in the local government setting of a developing nation, challenges to compliance and workable solutions. A total of 108 copies of a carefully structured questionnaire was administered to individuals concerned with contract administration in the local governments in the study area and 87 were considered good enough for analysis. Data analysis was done using cross tabulation, chi-square, mean score and percentile. Among other findings, the study revealed that there is partial compliance with the procurement clauses in the local governments. The study also revealed that significant relationship exists between knowledge of the procurement act, owning a copy of the act and compliance with the act. These findings of this study will be useful for construction and public procurement administrators as an evidence of the need for a multifaceted action towards strengthening compliance.

“…The minimum wage is determined based on economic and employment conditions; in other words, it is no longer based on decent living needs. The result of the studies [19,22,39,63,64] shows that the regional minimum wage affects the purchasing power of low-income communities through return on the stock as an intervening variable. Thus, The ninth hypothesis, H0: UMR does not affect the purchasing power of low-income people through the need to own a house as an intervening variable, and H1: UMR affects the purchasing power of low-income people through the need to own a house as an intervening variable.…”

This study aims to determine the effect of inflation, regional minimum wages, and subsidized housing costs on the purchasing power of low-income communities needing to own a home as an intervening variable. This study uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method to analyze the data from the districts of East Java, Indonesia. Broadly speaking, this study found that the higher the need to own a home, the higher the purchasing power of Low-Income Communities because the population is increasing, so the need to own a place to live is also directly proportional. The practical implication of this study is that it can contribute useful information relating to the effect of inflation, regional minimum wages, and subsidized house prices on the purchasing power of low-income communities with a need to own a house as an intervening variable. Therefore, the government needs to control the impact caused by inflation in the form of rising bank interest rates by subsidizing it so that it remains stable. In the future, the government should include housing allowances in the minimum wage component. The government should not only subsidize house prices, but also production costs, so that the price of subsidized houses remains stable.
