Even though the employment-to-population ratio of the foreign-bom population (65%) was lower than that of native-bom population (67%), the share of the foreign-bom population of working age (76%) was much higher than the corresponding native-bom share (62%). The resulting share of employment in the total population is therefore higher for foreign-bom population (49%) than for the Ghanaian-bom population (41%). The upward effect of this gap of 8 percentage points on the national share of employed is unlikely to be wiped out by the potentially negative impact of the presence of foreign-bom workers on the native-bom employment rate. The effect of immigration on the capital-labour ratio is not known, and the overall effect of migrant labour on GDP per capita therefore cannot be ascertained with great accuracy.
