Less than 10 percent of Kenyan adults have permanent full-time jobs, underscoring the high poverty and dependency levels in an economy where the government is struggling to tackle an acute unemployment problem.
The average share of workers in permanent full-time jobs stood at nine percent last year, says a survey part-conducted by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), which lists Garissa, Wajir, Turkana and Kwale as counties with the smallest proportion of quality employment.
