dc.description.abstractThe Economic Complexity framework and product space can be applied to guide economic policy formulation. Complexity analytics can aid in classifying countries according to the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) scale. Other metrics can also help identify products that are more complex, in this case, products that are not too far from Ghana’s current capabilities and have potential for diversification. This brief suggests that determining the skills gap between what industries require to produce sophisticated products, and training offered to women and youth, will form a key part of employment generation.en
