abstract: 'Realizing high economic growth and generating gainful employment present
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.'
