Kenyan women are having fewer children, with the national fertility rate dropping from 3.4 in 2022 to 3.1 in 2025, a new survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows. The rate has been declining for decades, from 6.7 in 1988 to 4.7 in 1998 and 3.9 in 2014.

Embu recorded the lowest fertility rate at 2.2 children per woman, followed by Kiambu and Mombasa at 2.3, Nairobi and Kericho at 2.6, and Kirinyaga and Tharaka Nithi at 2.7.

Mandera recorded the highest rate at 6.8, followed by Wajir at 5.8, Tana River at 5.7, Turkana at 5.6, Garissa at 5.3, West Pokot at 5.1 and Samburu at 5.0.

The survey found that women in rural areas have an average of 3.6 children compared to 2.6 in towns. Women with no formal education recorded 5.4 children compared to 2.7 among those educated beyond secondary school. Women from poorer households also have more children than those from wealthier families.

More women are delaying childbirth, with births now highest among those aged 25 to 29. Teenage pregnancies have also dropped from 14.8% in 2022 to 11.9%, although West Pokot, Migori and Kajiado still record the highest rates at 25%, 23% and 20%.

Family planning is also influencing the decline, with about 56% of married women using modern contraceptives. Murang’a leads at 76%, while Mandera records less than 1%. However, 16% of married women still have an unmet need for contraception.
