00:43 (speaking in foreign language)
00:47 (speaking in foreign language)
00:51 553,000 (speaking in foreign language)
00:56 (speaking in foreign language)
01:01 (speaking in foreign language)
01:04 (speaking in foreign language)
01:08 (speaking in foreign language)
01:12 (speaking in foreign language)
01:40 - Marriage counselor (speaking in foreign language)
01:45 (speaking in foreign language)
02:10 - Yo, so 2021 population and housing census
02:13 abroad, Ghana Saskatchewan Service.
02:16 (speaking in foreign language)
02:20 One simple question, (speaking in foreign language)
02:26 First one, (speaking in foreign language)
02:34 I mean, they can marry and I say,
02:36 (speaking in foreign language)
02:38 Exactly.
02:40 The Saskatchewan Service puts our population
02:42 around 15 years and above.
02:45 So our population, 19.9 million Ghanaians.
02:49 That's a big number.
02:51 Now, some 19.9 million Ghanaians, (speaking in foreign language)
02:56 About 42.1% (speaking in foreign language)
03:05 (speaking in foreign language)
03:09 That's a big percentage.
03:13 (speaking in foreign language)
03:17 About 39.6%.
03:21 (speaking in foreign language)
03:24 Quantifier, we are looking around,
03:27 maybe 8.4 million people.
03:29 (speaking in foreign language)
03:31 - Out of 19.9 million.
03:32 - Out of 19.9 million.
03:34 (speaking in foreign language)
03:38 About 7.9 million Ghanaians, (speaking in foreign language)
03:43 (speaking in foreign language)
03:52 Absolutely.
03:53 (speaking in foreign language)
03:53 They are informally living together.
03:55 (speaking in foreign language)
04:02 We are about 1.6 million.
04:04 (speaking in foreign language)
04:09 (speaking in foreign language)
04:13 (speaking in foreign language)
04:14 About 8%.
04:15 (speaking in foreign language)
04:19 About 2.8%, but that's very significant.
04:22 Because (speaking in foreign language)
04:25 That number is around half a million
04:27 that we are talking about.
04:30 (speaking in foreign language)
04:33 (speaking in foreign language)
04:34 Is about 65.5%.
04:36 (speaking in foreign language)
04:37 About 34.5%.
04:41 (speaking in foreign language)
04:57 It could be that (speaking in foreign language)
05:02 (speaking in foreign language)
05:06 Absolutely.
05:13 (speaking in foreign language)
05:16 And no can be one of the reason why (speaking in foreign language)
05:21 And one other thing can be that.
05:24 (speaking in foreign language)
05:28 Because of abuse.
05:39 (speaking in foreign language)
05:43 (speaking in foreign language)
05:47 (speaking in foreign language)
05:51 Absolutely.
05:52 (speaking in foreign language)
05:56 The likelihood (speaking in foreign language)
06:01 is higher than (speaking in foreign language)
06:03 because (speaking in foreign language)
06:09 (speaking in foreign language)
06:13 So those are some of the factors.
06:15 (speaking in foreign language)
06:17 And another one.
06:18 (speaking in foreign language)
06:22 But along the line.
06:25 (speaking in foreign language)
06:29 And another one.
06:32 (speaking in foreign language)
06:35 (speaking in foreign language)
06:39 Those were three key reasons.
06:48 (speaking in foreign language)
06:52 Because (speaking in foreign language)
06:56 separated, any those who are divorced.
06:59 (speaking in foreign language)
07:00 Very close.
07:01 (speaking in foreign language)
07:04 Almost one million Ghanaians.
07:06 One million Ghanaians, and so very significant.
07:09 Because we are looking at a population 15 years and above.
07:12 (speaking in foreign language)
07:16 (speaking in foreign language)
07:21 Exactly.
07:33 (speaking in foreign language)
07:37 And none of them is separated.
07:42 (speaking in foreign language)
07:46 (speaking in foreign language)
07:50 (speaking in foreign language)
07:54 Majority of them.
07:59 (speaking in foreign language)
08:00 In register.
08:01 (speaking in foreign language)
08:05 How is it distributed across the regions?
08:12 (speaking in foreign language)
08:14 A very interesting figure.
08:16 (speaking in foreign language)
08:20 114,000 people.
08:32 (speaking in foreign language)
08:36 The next that comes close to the Ashanti region,
08:39 Greater Accra, 80,741.
08:44 (speaking in foreign language)
08:45 (speaking in foreign language)
08:48 A very big difference between them.
08:50 (speaking in foreign language)
08:54 There was another slide that we passed yesterday.
08:58 (speaking in foreign language)
09:00 Some other interesting statistics.
09:02 (speaking in foreign language)
09:03 The various population and housing census.
09:05 (speaking in foreign language)
09:08 But basically, the summary of that statistic is that,
09:11 (speaking in foreign language)
09:15 Because in 2000, IA population and housing census,
09:26 we were looking around 45.5% of Ghanaians
09:29 who said they were married.
09:31 (speaking in foreign language)
09:40 In fact, they are living informally now.
09:42 (speaking in foreign language)
09:46 (speaking in foreign language)
09:50 (speaking in foreign language)
09:54 (speaking in foreign language)
10:21 2021 census, over 550,000 Nijawarri,
10:26 almost separating over 400,000,
10:30 (speaking in foreign language)
10:34 (speaking in foreign language)
10:41 (speaking in foreign language)
10:45 (speaking in foreign language)
10:49 (speaking in foreign language)
10:53 (speaking in foreign language)
10:58 (speaking in foreign language)
11:03 (speaking in foreign language)
11:07 (speaking in foreign language)
11:11 (speaking in foreign language)
11:15 (speaking in foreign language)
11:18 (speaking in foreign language)
11:24 (speaking in foreign language)
11:32 (speaking in foreign language)
11:41 (speaking in foreign language)
11:46 (speaking in foreign language)
11:50 (speaking in foreign language)
11:54 (speaking in foreign language)
11:58 (speaking in foreign language)
12:02 (speaking in foreign language)
12:20 (speaking in foreign language)
12:23 (speaking in foreign language)
12:38 (speaking in foreign language)
12:41 (speaking in foreign language)
12:46 (speaking in foreign language)
12:51 (speaking in foreign language)
12:55 (speaking in foreign language)
12:59 (speaking in foreign language)
13:23 (speaking in foreign language)
13:28 (speaking in foreign language)
13:32 (speaking in foreign language)
13:36 (speaking in foreign language)
14:04 (speaking in foreign language)
14:08 - First of all, because of the nature of the work I do,
14:30 and I'm dealing with confidential issues,
14:32 I can't talk about any containment issue.
14:34 I don't want to be doing that
14:36 because Mr. Achemi is a big team here.
14:38 Because the councilor,
14:39 you know the councilor for Kumu,
14:40 I know the by example.
14:41 - But councilor, if I understand,
14:43 you didn't-- - You can speak,
14:44 I'm speaking with the North End.
14:46 - Yeah.
14:47 - You know, so for example,
14:50 who can worry?
14:52 (speaking in foreign language)
14:58 We have the foundational aspect of the marriage.
15:01 (speaking in foreign language)
15:05 (speaking in foreign language)
15:10 I repeat, the foundational aspect of the marriage.
15:18 (speaking in foreign language)
15:22 (speaking in foreign language)
15:24 - Okay.
15:25 (speaking in foreign language)
15:26 You have to have that foundation very solid.
15:29 (speaking in foreign language)
15:33 (speaking in foreign language)
15:39 (speaking in foreign language)
15:43 - Yeah.
15:46 (speaking in foreign language)
15:50 (speaking in foreign language)
15:54 - Okay.
15:56 (speaking in foreign language)
15:58 (speaking in foreign language)
16:03 (speaking in foreign language)
16:07 (speaking in foreign language)
16:11 - Yeah, okay.
16:34 (speaking in foreign language)
16:38 - Okay.
16:51 (speaking in foreign language)
16:55 (speaking in foreign language)
16:59 (speaking in foreign language)
17:04 (speaking in foreign language)
17:08 - Okay.
17:12 (speaking in foreign language)
17:25 - Yeah.
17:26 (speaking in foreign language)
17:29 - Okay.
17:36 (speaking in foreign language)
17:54 - Very important.
17:55 - Aye.
17:56 - But like I said, I'm not surprised.
17:58 - Mate.
17:58 - Because of the work we are doing,
18:00 and I want to commend my brother-in-law,
18:03 for the work he's doing.
18:04 I would explain to him,
18:05 oh, you're about to leave in the regional breakdown, sir.
18:08 Our culture is set up in various regions, you know?
18:11 What we believe in, what people stand for,
18:15 in various regions, you gotta account for those things.
18:17 - Mate.
18:18 - That's the system of the biggest being higher,
18:19 and if you get low, you--
18:20 (speaking in foreign language)
18:23 - Dr. Oscar, as we pay a marriage counselor,
18:27 and I'll tell you, (speaking in foreign language)
18:32 - Because one thing, when I look at the figures,
18:49 I did, it shocked me,
18:51 the fact that the percentage of your population are,
18:54 (speaking in foreign language)
18:58 In fact, they are not married,
19:01 but (speaking in foreign language)
19:04 - Stay together.
19:05 - Exactly.
19:06 (speaking in foreign language)
19:10 It could also be because,
19:13 currently, (speaking in foreign language)
19:14 the cost of--
19:15 - Living.
19:16 - Living, and marriage,
19:17 and the things you have to do,
19:19 (speaking in foreign language)
19:21 but the cost involved,
19:24 and other things are forcing people
19:26 to do cohabitation instead of marriage.
19:28 (speaking in foreign language)
19:32 (laughing)
19:34 (speaking in foreign language)
19:38 (dramatic music)
19:58 (explosion)
