This summary from the World Bank sums it up nicely:
- Multi-party democracy with independent judiciary
- Consistently ranks in the top 3 African countries for press and freedom of speech
- Rapid GDP growth of 7% in the years before the pandemic

Agreed - but given that this is an 80 year forecast, feels like long term variables are important here.

This article is so patronizing. The author is so shocked to find swiss chocolates in Africa? There is a lot of wealth in these countries, and Ghana has been a global example of good governance for years. Somehow I doubt the population model adjusts for any complexities, ie changing behavior as incomes increase or climate change
