Birth control jumps 11pc to 1.9 million new users
Kenya's population growth rate has been gradually slowing, partly due to women's empowerment and increased awareness of family planning, which has contributed to lower birth rates.
The number of people seeking modern birth control procedures in Kenya rose by 11.6 percent last year, highlighting the economic pressures of starting a family as people seek to improve their financial stability.
Official economic data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that 1,902,696 new people adopted various modern contraceptive methods in 2024, an increase from 1,705,095 in 2023, representing an additional 197,601 users.
