This dataset shows the Mombasa population pyramid by Age group as reported by the Kenya National Bureau of statistics during the 2009 National census

This statistic shows the age structure in Kenya from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, about 37.22 percent of Kenya's total population were aged 0 to 14 years.

Dataset on Marsabit Population Pyramid Age Groups - 2009.Based on Male and female populations by age group.

While the East African region, including Kenya, is one of first regions believed to have modern humans inhabit it, population growth in the region remained slow to non-existent throughout the 19th century; in the past hundred years, however, Kenya’s population has seen an exponential increase in size, going from 2.65 million in 1920, to an estimated 53.77 million in 2020.

Along with this population growth, Kenya has seen rapid urbanization and industrialization, particularly in recent decades. The metropolitan area of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, with an estimated population of 9.35 million in 2020, now contains on its own over three and a half times the population of the entire country just a century earlier.

In 2021, there were around 207 million children aged 0-4 years in Africa. In total, the population aged 17 years and younger amounted to approximately 650 million. In contrast, only approximately 48 million individuals were aged 65 years and older as of the same year. The youngest continent in the world Africa is the continent with the youngest population worldwide. As of 2023, around 40 percent of the population was aged 15 years and younger, compared to a global average of 25 percent. Although the median age on the continent has been increasing annually, it remains low at around 20 years. There are several reasons behind the low median age. One factor is the low life expectancy at birth: On average, the male and female population in Africa live between 61 and 65 years, respectively. In addition, poor healthcare on the continent leads to high mortality, also among children and newborns, while the high fertility rate contributes to lowering the median age. Cross-country demographic differences Africa’s demographic characteristics are not uniform across the continent. The age structure of the population differs significantly from one country to another. For instance, Niger and Uganda have the lowest median age in Africa, at 15.1 and 16.1 years, respectively. Not surprisingly, these countries also register a high crude birth rate. On the other hand, North Africa is the region recording the highest life expectancy at birth, with Algeria leading the ranking in 2023.

Around 11 percent of women aged 15-19 in Kenya as of 2019 were married or have been married at least once. The proportion of ever-married individuals in the same age group was lower among men, at 4.3 percent. Among Kenyan counties, Tana River had the largest share of ever-married women, over 25 percent. Mandera recorded the highest proportion for men: 9.6 percent of those aged 15-19 were married, or either divorced, widowed, or separated.
