Abstract:This study of Ghana's economy during the so-called 'lost decade' of the 1980s explores the effects of the global economic crisis and Ghana's embrace of structural adjustment. It pleads for effective social intervention programmes, particularly for the benefit of the poor and vulernable groups to lessen the impact of the food and financial crises on children and care-givers.
