Labour :

- In farming men are responsible for the care of the animals

- In agricultural communities, both men and women work in the fields

- It is estimated that women do up to 80% of the work in rural areas : in addition to work in the fields, they take care of the children, cook, keep a vegetable garden, fetch water, and bringing the food to the market to sell

- majority of men leave their rural communities and move to the city in search of paying jobs, while this sometimes brings in more income in the family, it also increases the women's workload

- In urban areas, women are more likely to take jobs outside the home ; 40% of the urban workforce is female

- Women are still confined to lower paying and lower status jobs, such as food service or secretarial work

- City of Kisumu has elected a woman mayor, and there are several women in Parliament

I noticed that English seemed to be the official language for Kenya, while Swahili is the most commonly spoken language. English tends to have greater prestige and it serves more functions than Swahili. English is used for government, business, media and educational purposes. Schools from grade four and up in rural area and from grade one and up in urban areas are taught in English.
