New female employees earning over Sh100,000 a month have outnumbered male workers in Kenya’s formal sector for the first time, as highly educated women power their way into the male-dominated club of top earners.
Data released by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that about 92 percent or 14,268 of the new super earners were women, helping narrow the gender pay gap at the top level amid the push for salary parity at the workplace.
