Abstract

This study examines the relationship between unemployment and relationship breakdown among youth in Ghana. Unemployment among youth has become a pressing issue globally, particularly in developing countries like Ghana. The objective is to investigate how the experience of unemployment influences relationship stability among young adults. The study employs qualitative research methods, including interviews and focus groups to gather data from unemployed youth in various regions of Ghana. Factors such as financial stress, decreased self-esteem, and the strain on interpersonal relationships due to unemployment were some of the perceptions by the unemployed youth in Ghana. The findings aim to contribute to a better understanding of the social impacts of unemployment and provide insights into potential interventions to support youth navigating these challenges in Ghanaian society.

Abstract

This study investigates the revitalization and preservation of indigenous Ghanaian textiles in contemporary fashion design, emphasizing their cultural significance, economic potential, and modern challenges. Traditional textiles such as “kente”, “kete”, “adinkra”, and “fugu”/ “batakari” are central to Ghana’s cultural heritage, symbolizing identity and tradition. However, the industry faces hurdles including high production costs, competition from cheaper imports, and diminishing traditional knowledge among younger generations. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research utilized interviews, focus group discussions, and observations involving artisans, fashion designers, educators, and consumers. Findings reveal that despite the immense value of indigenous textiles, their integration into modern fashion is impeded by limited access to raw materials, fluctuating market demand, and inadequate artisan support. Innovative designers, however, are blending traditional textiles with contemporary trends, showcasing adaptability and global appeal. The study recommends strategies such as public education campaigns, financial and technical support for artisans, and stronger intellectual property protections. Promoting sustainable practices, addressing regional production disparities, and fostering designer-artisan collaborations are also key to the industry’s sustainability. This research underscores the role of Ghanaian textiles in economic empowerment and cultural preservation, advocating for a balanced approach that merges tradition with modern innovation to ensure global relevance and sustainability.
