Özet:

 

Due to paucity of industries work opportunities in the rural areas in Ghana
are very limited. Many youths complete high school and cannot get
employed because they are not skilled and on the account of limited job
opportunities. As a native and a frequent visitor to the area of study (Bono
Ahafo) the researcher became aware of the situation where unemployed
youth have virtually fall prey to overseas work scam. The so-called
connection men/women take advantage of the unemployed youth who
dream of better life in the cities and overseas destinations. They charge
them huge sums of money with promise of work and manage to smuggle
the unsuspected youth overseas. The plight of some victims of human
trafficking informed the choice of this exploratory participatory study. This
participatory study which took place in four rural municipalities involved
some victims of the scam, their parents and relatives in face to face
interviews.
