Kenya's economy is currently performing poorly when it comes
to job creation. According to FiFi Finance, a global finance portal, the
informal jua kali sector has plenty to offer in Kenya.
"Jua kali" is a Swahili word meaning "hot
sun" because the artisans mostly work under the scorching sun. It is a
haven for artisan jobs in Kenya and an excellent way to promote
self-employment. The 2019 Economic Survey showed that Jua Kali sector created
762.1 thousand new jobs in 2018. This constituted 83.6 percent of total
employment.
