Kenya, holds the dubious distinction of having the region’s highest unemployment rate, a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report says.

The report says 39.1 per cent of the Kenyan population of working age are unemployed compared to Tanzania’s 24 per cent, Ethiopia’s 21.6 per cent, Uganda’s 18.1 per cent and Rwanda’s 17.1 per cent.

Kenya, East Africa’s biggest economy, holds the dubious distinction of being the country with the largest number of unemployed youth in the region, a new World Bank report says.

The report, officially released Tuesday, says Kenya’s rate of unemployment — now standing at three times that of the neighbouring Uganda and Tanzania — is also among the highest in the world.

The report says that nearly one in every five Kenyan youths of working age has no job compared to Uganda and Tanzania where about one in every 20 young people is jobless, underlining the harsh economic reality that Kenyan youths are facing.

Informal jobs= desperate juakali and chokoras.

We are talking about the upper tier informal employment here. Not the variety jobs u seem to have in mind. The reason Kenya has less pipo living below a dollar a day, even with the high unemployment.

Which ones?

Which ones?

Which ones?

Look at that huge multitude of the pipo living below a $1.25 a day in Tanzania. The highest in Africa? Perhaps.
Just look at where they have plotted that on the graph.

How comes, if indeed the unemployment rate is lower in Tanzania.

Kenya has the highest informal sector employment among nine countries covered in a new report by the United Nations’ Economic Commission for Africa.

Employment in the sector stands at 77.9 per cent of the total ahead of Rwanda’s 73.4 per cent, Uganda’s 59.2 and Tanzania’s 8.5 per cent. In Egypt, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritius and South Africa, the sector offers jobs to 51.2, 49.5, 51.8, 9.3 and 17.8 per cent of workers, respectively.

The question is, what're those informal jobs?

Kenya has highest informal jobs in Africa

“Most of these workers operate under a high degree of informality and vulnerability, resulting in small and unpredictable incomes, poor working conditions and low productivity. Such informality is likely to trap people into poverty,” says the report.

We have already discussed about this in the old posts of the thread, no need of repetition.

Go to page 3 and 4, we talked about living expenses in Kenya and Tanzania.

Does that explain why 80% of Tanzanians live below $1.25 a day? High living expenses.

“Most of these workers operate under a high degree of informality and vulnerability, resulting in small and unpredictable incomes, poor working conditions and low productivity. Such informality is likely to trap people into poverty,” says the report.

If only these Tanzanians were engaging in such informal jobs as painting, capentary, plumbing, electrical repairs, cleaners, baking, tailoring, electronic and phone repairs, small scale manufacturing ie soap making, footwear, jewellery making, foodstuff selling, beauty products, hair making, barbing, vehicle repairs, carving, private tutoring etc etc...........even hawking isnt a very bad idea.

They are all self employed, at times working from home.

Dont be so narrow minded. Informal employment does not just refer to those shady businesses, though they are also categorized as part of the informal sector, ie drug dealing or prostitution.

But informal sector refers to earning a living thru self employment, however, tge activities in the informal economy take place outside of government regulation or recordkeeping.
We understand the disadvantages of this, key of which they do not pay taxes to tge govt.

Statistics dont lie. And they do not imply that poverty doesnt exist in Kenya.



But this..........?!
