Editing Accra (section)

=== Population distribution by age and gender ===
Accra's population is a very youthful one, with 56% of the population being under 24 years of age. This predominance of young people is not expected to decline in the foreseeable future. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the population are females, and the remaining 49% males. This gives a males-to-females ratio of 1:1.04. The greater number of females is a reflection of the nationwide trend, where the estimated ratio of males to females is 1:1.03.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mba|first=Chuks J.|date=29 September 2010|title=Population Ageing in Ghana: Research Gaps and the Way Forward|journal=Journal of Aging Research|volume=2010|page=672157|doi=10.4061/2010/672157 |doi-access=free|issn=2090-2204|pmc=3003962|pmid=21188229}}</ref>
