  • Assessing the roles of state and family in the provision of care

    Louis Boakye‐yiadom, Gloria Afful‐mensah et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Care and…2025

    The importance of care in engendering well-being has spawned considerable interest in care regimes, but little work exists on sub-Saharan Africa. Using laws, administrative data, previous research and survey data from Ghana, we characterize Ghana’s care regime as ‘supported familialism’ for childcare and ‘familialism by default’ for care for older people and persons living with disability and suggest some gaps in existing typologies. We show that…

    Ghana is one of the few countries in Africa that is experiencing rapid agricultural transformation, in farm size expansion and commercialization, though it is unclear yet whether this transformation is proceeding in an inclusive manner.

Urban male capitalists, in collusion with local c…

    Open AccessEdward Nketiah‐amponsah, Gloria Afful‐mensah et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Since smoking remains one of the major causes of diseases and deaths the world over, the current study provides recent empirical evidence based on a nationally representative sample for public health policies geared towards smoking reduction and ultimately cessation. This study suggests that public policies that promote higher educational attainment and improved incomes (wealth) are crucial in smoking reduction and cessation in Ghana

  • Alcohol Consumption Among Ghanaian Women of Child Bearing Age – What are the Correlates

    Open AccessEdward Nketiah-Amponsah, Edward Nketiah‐amponsah et al.ARTICLEGender Studies2017

    This paper examines the demographic and socio-economic correlates of alcohol consumption and drinking frequency among Ghanaian women aged 15-49 years. The study utilizes the 2008 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey data, which remains the most recent DHS for studying the phenomenon in Ghana. Using logistic regression, our findings indicate that alcohol consumption among Ghanaian women is influenced by age, education, and wealth status. In additio…
