Due to the scarcity of literature on the employment activities and aspirations of youth in rural communities especially in Africa, the study examined the past, present and future employment of the out-of-school youth in Amankyea, a rural community in the Atwima Nwabiagya district of Ashanti Region in Ghana. Three (3) focus group discussions and interviews with 20 rural youth who were purposiv…
Modeling the Structural Effects of Residential Instability, Family Disruptions, and Social Support on Neighborhood Crime Perceptions
Drawing on the tenets of Social Disorganization Theory, we model the effects of neighborhood structural correlates on neighborhood crime perceptions in two urbanized Ghanaian communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Using 500 responses from a cross-sectional survey of 100 households, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) is used to test a hypothesized model that incorporates measures of Residential Instability, Family Disruption, So…

While these provide important knowledge base for policy and action, …

Results suggest that while staff's descriptions portray some understanding of children's psycho‐social needs, th…
