Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This research proposal is as a result of long period of gender disparity which has received much attention in recent years as a roadblock to the country’s growth.As women development advocate.”How do I create a conducive environment for all stakeholders especially women to effortlessly partake and benefit equally from youth and sports empowerment in the ministry for the betterment of Ghana?”.The enhanced focus on the problem stems from the awareness that the country’s holistic development necessitates all genders’ human resources. After several years of experience in the civil service I have been frustrated on how women have traditionally been marginalised in their attempts to build and exploit their intellectual resources due to gender discrimination at the strategic planning and implementation level. I wish to use my PHD to examine this issue and go deeper into how I can improve greater understanding of women development in my organization.In my preferred opinion women development is promoting women's sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.Women development is essential to the health and social development of families, communities and countries. When women are living safe, fulfilled and productive lives, they can reach their full potential. contributing their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children. Following the above explanation,my work will seek to promote and give more space to expressing women voices through positive dialogues. While there are various explanations for gender disparity in the region, the most cited cause is society, primarily the patriarchal structure in place (Jayachandran, 2015). In different aspects of life, patriarchy has put men in a position of authority and respect over their female counterparts (Fallon et al., 2012). Men hold a respected status in traditional Ghanaian culture, which means they have the final say on what happens in the home, office, and other settings (Akita, 2010; Adeabah et al., 2019). According to IFAD, Ghana is ranked 70th out of 135 countries in the Global Gender Index, with a score of 0.6811, an organisation dedicated to encouraging development in rural communities in countries like Ghana. The nation was ranked 17th in economic activity, 91st in political participation and empowerment, 104th in health and longevity, and 111th in educational achievement when core individual aspects of life were, professional growth strategies and relevance have evolved (Wirth, 2001). Organisations must pay attention to what makes women excel in adapting to their professional growth needs and staying successful (Nelson et al., 2002). This study concentrates on women’s advancement in Ghanaian civil service, especially in the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS).
