Summary

Together with UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, CAS embarked on a four-month study to discover the reasons that are leading more and more rural children to go to the towns and cities. The results are profoundly disturbing. They reflect the need for a thorough rethink of Ghana’s policies on a wide variety of issues, including education, youth policy, the banking system and development priorities.
