|
major challenges for Kenya. This paper analyzes the gendered employment

|

|
|
|

outcomes of various investment options in Kenya using Social Accounting

Matrix multiplier analysis. Results reveal that Kenya''s agriculture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sector accounts for the highest increase in employee compensation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(mainly benefiting skilled labor and disproportionately benefiting men),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while its manufacturing sector accounts for the largest share of job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
creation. Although women stand to benefit more from employment creation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
most of these new jobs are informal with low wages. Kenya''s gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities are a reflection of existing disparities in its labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and socioeconomic structure. Therefore, policies aimed at addressing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constraints that limit women''s effective participation in the Kenyan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market, including increasing productivity and raising women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills, are important for allowing men and women to benefit equally from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and growth-promoting opportunities.'
