Overview
Globally, studies have shown that growing inequalities could be a threat to long-term sustainable social and economic development. To address this potential development challenge, evidence on the prevalence of inequality, including all its dimensions, is required for informed policy and the design of appropriate interventions at national and devolved levels. Towards this end, the Government, through the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) initiated a study on inequality in 2021. This report, therefore, presents the findings on inequalities in well-being based on the Kenya Population and Housing Census data collected by the Bureau in 2009 and 2019.
