Ghana is one of many developing countries. Here is a video showing how poverty affects women working as street carriers.
In Ghana, effective measures have been taken to grow GDP so that it may meet its Millenium Development Goals before the target year of 2015. Whether you live in a rural area or near a town is a very important factor for the poor in Ghana. Rural areas lack infrastructure and industry. Towns are overcrowded with workers having moved there from rural areas in search of work. Competition for jobs keeps wages of those who are poorly qualified low, perpetuating the poverty. Here is a website with further information.
