The Country of Kenya and the Family Structure

Abstract: This is a 6 page paper discussing the country of Kenya: its economy, politics, education and family structure. Kenya is one of the East African countries which still maintains the traditional African structure of the extended family which not only links families with similar blood lines but also families who have been joined by marriage. Kenya is a country which is plagued by political and economic strife and these factors are no doubt part of the reason Kenyan families have decided to decrease the number of children within their family structure. Although the traditional roles of the Kenyan family show that it appears to be a male dominated society, in actual fact husbands and wives have a high degree of communication and make joint decisions in regards to family situations and family planning. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
