As of April 2024, the global population continues its upward trajectory, surpassing 8 billion individuals. This milestone, projected back in 2022 by the United Nations, underscores the pressing need to address population-related concerns. Notably, half of this vast population resides in just seven countries, indicative of the concentrated nature of demographic shifts.
On April 7th, 2024, the world commemorated World Population Day, a poignant reminder of the urgency surrounding population dynamics. Such occasions prompt reflection on the multifaceted impacts of population growth, especially in regions experiencing exponential increases like Kenya.
Kenya’s population landscape has undergone significant transformation over the past century, with exponential growth giving way to more moderated expansion in recent decades. Currently standing at 56,592,845 as of April 2024, Kenya grapples with the challenges and opportunities presented by its youthful demographic profile, with 75% of the populace below the age of 35.
The demographic dividend arising from Kenya’s youthful population presents a unique opportunity for national development if effectively harnessed. However, this potential must be accompanied by strategic investments in key sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and technology to fully realize its benefits.
Yasad Real Estate recognizes the integral role of population dynamics in shaping real estate opportunities. With a focus on sustainable development, Yasad aims not only to sell land but to add value by transforming plots to meet the evolving needs of Kenya’s burgeoning population.

In conclusion, the continued growth of the global population presents both challenges and opportunities for countries like Kenya.
