The outcome of the Kenya Population and Development Conference (KPDC) 2025 held in Nairobi under the theme 'Navigating the Future, Population Dynamics and Sustainable Development in Kenya,' has revealed that 75 percent of the country's population consists of youth who have a major say in the economic planning of the country.
These statistics highlight Kenya's predominantly young population, with significant implications for the country's economic development and policy planning, presenting both opportunities and challenges for the same.
Therefore, with a large proportion of young people, Kenya has the potential for a strong and dynamic labor force, driving productivity and innovation.
Hosted by the National Council for Population Development (NCPD), the conference brought together hundreds of stakeholders and experts, also involving crucial policymakers to come up with a substantial solution and recommendations for the booming population.
