The study explores emigration levels, trends and patterns of Kenyan migrants,
using the macro data collected during the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census. In
Kenya, little was known of its emigrant’s destination.
This research aimed to establish the
size, composition and distribution of Kenyan emigrants. The results show that although the
United States and United Kingdom remain key destinations, there was a shift in the size,
composition, trends and patterns to wit
hin Africa. The conclusion focused on related policy
implications on development,
with a focus on
the impacts of migration in the region, cross

border migration and
economic blocks
for the
development of
both
the country of origin and
destination
