Key Takeaways
Kenya’s fertility rate declined markedly from 6.1 in 1990 to 3.3 in 2022, illustrating the success of family planning campaigns and increased access to education for women. Urbanization and improvements in healthcare further drove this change.

The rate of decline slowed after 2010, reflecting challenges in addressing rural fertility and socio-cultural barriers. Nonetheless, Kenya remains a leader in fertility reduction within Sub-Saharan Africa, setting the stage for sustained demographic dividends.
