The 11 African countries under study — Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia — were found to have only 15 million middle-class households, up from 4.6 million in 2000 and 2.4 million in 1990.

“There has been little change in the composition of Uganda’s population in income terms in the past decade. Today, 90 per cent of the population lives on or below the poverty line – down from 95 per cent of the population in 2000,” the report says.

In Kenya, the rate of household transition out of poverty has remained sluggish since 1990, when 21.2 million Kenyans (91 per cent of the population then) lived on or below the poverty line.

Today, 38 million Kenyans (83 per cent of the population) reside in this band,” the report says, placing 94 per cent of Tanzania’s population below the poverty line as well.



That number is too big am sure many Wazuans fall in that "band" despite being here always yapping about politricks and government. This is the true definition of third world

Here are the metrics, does the "In Kenya" offer any consolation?

the EastAfrican wrote:
The report classifies household incomes into four groups using the Living Standard Measure, which uses the level of spending rather than income as a measure of affluence.

Low-income people are listed as those spending less than $5,500 in a year or $15 per day while the lower middle class spend up to $8,500 annually, or $23 per day.

The middle class spends as much as $42,000 per year or $115 per day and the upper middle class spends more than $42,000 a year.

I think in Kenya the middle class spends between USd 24,000-USD 30,000
