The Ministry of Works and Housing (MWH) is implementing housing projects in various parts of Ghana and in 2017-18, about 5,126 housing units were under construction. The estimated cost of these current investments is about GHS 789 million (about USD181 million). Furthermore, planned investments until 2020 are estimated at GHS 5,162 million (about USD 1,186 million). The main purpose of this study is to assess the employment impact of these public investments in housing in Ghana
