Middle class sprawls in Nairobi, Kenya
Loading...
Uploaded by worldfocusonline on Oct 14, 2008
Downtown Nairobi is in stark contrast to the images of famine and war that often represent coverage of Africa.
Kenyas middle class has grown to 10 percent of the urban population — or 1.5 million people — making Kenya home to one of the largest middle class populations in sub-Saharan Africa.
Government deregulation stimulated economic growth and turned Nairobbery — a former nickname for the city — into a booming economic center. Nairobi reflects this trend with multinational businesses, towering office buildings and a growing middle class.
Worldfocus correspondent Martin Seemungal and producer Yuval Lion report from Nairobi on middle class Kenyans, who are educated, optimistic and upwardly mobile.
