The purpose of this fact book is to document the state of youth in Kenya. More specifically, the fact book seeks to present different youth indicators for purposes of providing an overview of age, gender, regional and socio-economic status of youth. Where data is available, East African, African and global comparisons are given to help us gauge our standing. The countries of analysis are randomly chosen.

The material in this book is collated from various secondary sources that are certified as credible. Since all these reports use different data collection methodologies, IEA has sufficiently referenced the work for further reading. The fact book covers 9 thematic areas. They include: Demographics; Health; Disability; Education; Family; Un/employment; Participation; ICT; and Crime. The facts are presented in charts, graphs and tables, highlighting simple observations.
