Women in rural Kenya beat urban peers in land, house ownership
While the report does not reveal causes for the disparities in property ownership between rural and urban women, the dynamics of cost could be playing a huge role since land in rural Kenya is cheaper.
Women in rural Kenya beat their urban counterparts in property ownership, dominating in land and houses, amid growing economic empowerment and varied dynamics across towns and up-country.
While close to a third (32.2 percent) of rural women own agricultural land, just 14.1 percent of urban women hold title deeds, according to a new Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) report on women empowerment.
