In 2023, Kenya's gender gap index score stood at 0.71, meaning that females were around 27 percent less likely to have the same opportunities as males. Stronger gender disparities were mostly measured in the category of Political Empowerment. Among the performances in Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya positioned at number 15 out of 36 nations.
The Global Gender Gap Index measures gender-based gaps among four dimensions, economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. The highest possible overall score is one, meaning total equality between women and men.
The figures have been taken from several publications.
