Counties such as Lamu (44,926), Isiolo (48,293), and Samburu (43,428) have the lowest working populations, reflecting their smaller populations and limited economic opportunities emanating from limited diversification of economic activities.
The gender distribution of the working population varies by county.
Some counties, like Turkana and West Pokot show relatively balanced gender representation in the workforce, while others, like Wajir and Mandera exhibit a more pronounced male dominance in employment.
This distribution underscores the diverse economic landscape across the counties, with levels of employment closely tied to factors such as urbanisation, industrialisation, and regional economic activities.
Understanding these dynamics
is crucial for tailoring policies that promote equitable economic development and
gender balance in employment opportunities across the country.
