In 2021, the age dependency ratio in Kenya was at 70.2 percent. This meant that there were around 70 people aged 0-14 years and 65 years and older per 100 working-age population (aged 15-64 years). The ratio declined from 90.6 percent in 2000, indicating a reduced burden for the working-age population.
The age dependency ratio is the number of people aged 0-14 years and 65 years and older relative to the working age population (15-65) per 100 population. Thus, it is expressed as a percentage.
