Zusammenfassung:The estimates reveal that hourly earnings of men and women in Ghana are similar and respond positively to food consumption and, to a lesser extent, to nutritional status and negatively to additional hours worked.

The effects of nutrition are strongest for men, reflecting a higher workload during working hours. (DSE/DÜI)
