In the report, 8 per cent of Kenyans who are unemployed have never been into any form of employment. Only 47 per cent of Kenyans are employed according to the survey, out of which 24 per cent are self-employed and are still doing some work at this time of the pandemic. Seventeen per cent of the employed Kenyans are working part-time, whether employed or doing their daily work when available.
