dc.description.abstractThe study investigates the factors that influence food security in Ghana, focusing on the role of remittances. Employing data from the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS) 7, the study found that receiving remittances reduces the probability of facing food insecurity by 0.4% to 1.2% while receiving them regularly decreases the chances of experiencing food insecurity by 1.8% to 3.9%. In addition, an analysis of the disaggregated components of remittances shows that cash and other goods (non-food) remittances are negative and significantly associated with food insecurity. The results emphasize the importance of not only cash remittances but also remittances in the form of other non-food goods in improving food security. Policies that will encourage the easy and regular inflow of remittances will be key to enhancing food security.en_US
