In the manufacturing sector, under SAP, the rate of productivity fell. Ghana’s products in the world market experienced volatility or fluctuations in prices. In the mining sector the influence of neoliberalism was on privatization. Based on this principle, the government privatized Ghana’s mining sector. It put in place policies that
Process improvements can be higher mining productivity, higher mill throughput, decreased overall operating costs and higher flotation or leach recovery.
shares in industry and services were 10% and 26% in Africa, as opposed to 24% and 35% in Asia. African labor productivity was 1.7 and 3.5 times lower in indus-try and services respectively (World Bank, 2010). It is thus essential to study the causes and consequences of the lack of structural change in Africa.
