6 Kenya s demographic transition Figure shows working age population (15-64 years) and the dependant age population (0-14 and 65+ years). It indicates that by the year 2020, the gap will widen as the proportion of the working age population will grow much faster than the dependant population ages. Reduced dependency ratios will allow greater personal savings and government spending. Therefore, Kenya will be in a position to gain from a demographic dividend provided the right enabling environment prevails.
