Economic Value of Unpaid Domestic and Care Work in Kenya 2025

The household satellite account presented in this report seeks to address this gap by measuring and valuing unpaid domestic and care work. It comprehensively captures the contribution of non-market household
production to the economy. This account aligns and supports implementation of both national and international frameworks to recognize unpaid work as a vital component of economic and social progress. These
international frameworks include System of National Accounts (SNA) recommendations, Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA) and Sustainable Development Goals. At the national level, the setting up of this account
is anchored on the Constitution of Kenya, Kenya Vision 2030 and its Fourth Medium Term Plan (2023-2027) and several gender policies that include the National Policy on Women Economic Empowerment and the
National Care Policy. The valuation of unpaid domestic and care work is key in realization of inclusive and sustainable development.
