Despite more women acquiring degrees in the past decade, the proportion of women in entry-level job groups in the public sector has declined by 10%, revealing gender gaps in the workforce. An audit conducted by Kenyatta University’s Women’s Economic Empowerment Hub (KU-WEE) covering the period from 2010 to 2020 found that the representation of women in job groups J to L decreased from 41.7% in 2010 to 31.3% in 2020, while the representation of men increased from 58.3% in 2010 to 68.7% in 2020.

The analysis also found that the proportion of women with a first degree increased from 27% in 2010 to 45% in 2020, while the proportion of men with a first degree in the same job groups declined from 64% in 2010 to 46% in 2020. Similarly, the proportion of women with a master’s degree increased from 2.5% in 2010 to 4.4% in 2020, while the proportion of men with a master’s degree declined from 7% in 2010 to 5% in 2020.

According to Dr. Regina Mwatha, the project lead for KU-WEE, mentorship for women is essential not only at the high school level but also at the career development level. This highlights the need for more mentorship and career development programs to support women’s career advancement in the public sector.
