Kenyans spend just four and half hours daily on economically productive activities on average, denying the country billions of shillings in lost man-hours yearly. 

Kenya Time Use Report 2021, compiled from a Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) survey, shows that the active labour force uses another 16 hours of the day on non-productive activities, depriving many households of the opportunity to improve their financial health.
