Less than three percent of jobs at ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) are held by Kenyans aged below 25, a report by the Public Service Commission shows, citing concerns about low pay and lack of flexi-time and underlining difficulties in retaining young talent.

The age group, popularly known as Generation-Z (Gen-Zs) held a paltry 1,730 positions out of the 74,877 civil service jobs across the MDAs, while 41,689 jobs are held by Kenyans aged over 41.
