In this webinar, participants got to understand the importance of time use surveys, the modules that are used to inform research in this area and that women form 75% of the people who take part in unpaid care and domestic work.

In Kenya very little research has been carried out on the effect of the size of the informal sector on tax
performance. Failure to raise adequate tax revenue from the increasing informal sector implies the

The faculty of arts and social sciences was recognized during the performance and contracting awards through its various departments and the staff who work under it. This recognition was made to both teaching and non-teaching staff who have been exemplary in their performances.
