The kpp2019 package provides key dataset for population
projections in Kenya from 2020 to 2045. The data are based on the
2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census and subsequent
projections made by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics
(KNBS). This package is developed independently by a third
party to make this valuable data more accessible for researchers,
policy-makers, and planners who are interested in Kenya’s demographic
trends over the next few decades.
The data presented in this package offer insights into population growth, demographic composition, and migration patterns across Kenyan counties, which are essential for designing policies, allocating resources, and monitoring national development goals.
This package was developed independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) or any other governmental organization. The data provided here are based on publicly available projections published by KNBS. For more detailed information and official documentation, please refer to the original source provided in the “Data Sources” section below.

pop5: Base and Projected Age Distributions in Kenya
(2020-2045, Five-Year Increments)This dataset provides population projections for every five years between 2020 and 2045.
components: Components of Population Change in Kenya
(2020-2045)This dataset contains the components of population change over five-year periods, including births, deaths, natural increase, and net migration. It also includes rates such as crude birth rate (CBR) and crude death rate (CDR).
