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)
