One of the expected outcomes of the financial sector liberalization programme was that labour and capital resources would be priced efficiently in a competitive market. In a labour abundant country, labour intensive production techniques will emerge, as real wages fall sufficiently to contain employment and output. The study finds that firms are inclined to increase capital intensity than labour intensity given access to credit facilities. Furthermore, the high-cost-low-wage labour phenomenon plays a role in the low labour absorption in Ghana, especially where labour needs may be seasonal or dependent on the level of output. A more pragmatic labor law that allows flexibility for employers but also adequately compensate seasonal labour is needed.
