Kenya’s job market continues to stagnate despite economic success

Regardless, there are countries in the continent which have to some degree scaled this hurdle and even shatters new milestones on the mission to provide jobs and job securities for its citizens. Unfortunately, Kenya is not one of such countries.

The unemployment rate in Africa is not in the best shape currently, as scores of economies within the continent continue to struggle to provide adequate jobs to service its population.

The total employment has been growing at an average rate of about 5.07% since 2013. In 2021, the number stood at 5.3%, but this country witnessed its highest percentage growth in employment in 2014, when it saw a 6.2% increase in employment growth.
