NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 3 – Kenyan women are having fewer children, with the country’s fertility rate declining to three children per woman from four recorded in 2022, according to the latest Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) survey.
The decline points to a continued shift in family sizes across the country, with women in urban areas recording significantly lower fertility rates than their rural counterparts.
The 2025/2026 Kenya Mini Demographic and Health Survey shows that the fertility rate in urban areas stands at 2.6 children per woman, compared to 3.6 children among women in rural areas.
