The National Treasury is considering the inclusion of unpaid domestic work in the tabulation of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) as the government statistician unveiled a new report on how Kenyans spend their time.

The Kenya Time Use Report details how much time Kenyans spend on productive and unproductive activities, and is the first such report in Kenya.
