Ghana Redesignates job titles

The Labour Department of the Ministry of Manpower, Youth, and Employment of Ghana is to introduce 'new job titles' to remove inferiority complex and stereotypes associated with these positions so that workers could gain their self-confidence and feel comfortable with their professional titles. The change is also aimed at making the titles more gender-neutral to reflect current global trends following the Beijing conference in 1990 which sought to empower women.
