Key Findings: Women spend three hours 36 minutes more on unpaid care and domestic work than men. Working Women spend per day three hours 18 minutes more on unpaid care and domestic work than working men. In the arid and semi-arid counties of Mandera, Wajir, Samburu, and Garissa. girls aged 15 years and women spend up to six times more than men in unpaid care work.
