This was necessitated by the paucity of knowledge in voluntary retirement within a semi-urban space in Ghana and Africa. Besides, the concept of voluntary retirement within Ghana has not really come to the limelight of research. Based on this we situated our study within a qualitative method approach of phenomenology and used a thematic analysis to assess the lived experiences of seven voluntary retirees with respect to their knowledge of the pension scheme, the challenges they faced as early retirees and how they coped with the challenges of the pension. Our results indicate that the participants had prior knowledge of voluntary pensions, and this informed their expectations of financial benefits before retiring. Even though inadequate income is a major challenge they faced as retirees, they have found a way of coping with their current low incomes. Notwithstanding the impressive efforts of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust in sensitizing the public on voluntary retirement and pensions in general, we recommend the sensitization on the benefit package of early pension is intensified and improved to widen their clientele base.","PeriodicalId":39656,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135505409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are about 214 million women of reproductive age in developing countries who are not using modern contraception to prevent pregnancy. For proper locale-specific analysis of female reproductive health issues in Ghana, it is vital to explore the knowledge base and hindrances to contraception use in local communities. We used a phenomenological design to study reproductive- aged women in the Tamale Metropolis of the Northern Region of Ghana in order to comprehend the life world of study participants. This research demonstrates that the majority of the women in the study area have some form of knowledge about contraception, with mass media being their main source of information. The contraception methods known and cited by participants included birth control pills, condoms, injectable methods, and IUDs, with the prevention of unwanted pregnancies as the main reason for using contraceptives. For most of the participants, side effects and spiritual beliefs are the major hindrances to the use of contraception. We recommend that information on reproductive health in the Tamale Metropolis should not be limited to health facilities but should include the use of media outlets and social media platforms. Finally, clinicians should actively educate religious leaders in the metropolis to demystify the numerous superstitious beliefs associated with the use of contraception in the area.","PeriodicalId":39656,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare","volume":"233 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135505395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative data indicates that adolescents with poor parents have a 104 percent higher chance of being poor in young adulthood, and nearly 60 percent (58.4%) of the samples follow “the-poor-begets-the-poor; therich- begets-the-rich” pattern across generations. However, the explanatory power of the logistic regression models consisting of confounding factors are weak (R2=0.15). Subsequent focus group discussions with 30 mothers from the samples point to myriad forms of individual-environment interactions which determine their children’s life chances. These findings pose challenges to policymakers and researchers who attempt to formulate specific programs to eliminate the “root causes” of intergenerational poverty. This paper pinpoints the epistemological incompatibility between the nature of the poverty cycle and evaluable programmatic interventions, particularly in post-industrial societies, and calls for a holistic approach to intervention.","PeriodicalId":39656,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135505082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
