Oil Prices Predictions in Kenya

Oil prices significantly impact economies, with low prices benefiting importers and high prices aiding exporters. In Kenya, rising kerosene prices have strained low-income households, leading to a 39.45% drop in kerosene usage in 2023. The cost of fuel in Kenya is influenced by product costs, taxes, margins, and distribution, with taxes making up about 40% of prices. Compared to neighbouring countries, Kenya has the highest fuel prices, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and regional cooperation to stabilise fuel costs and support vulnerable populations.

Women in Tech

Women play a crucial role in data science, contributing significantly to the field despite historical under-representation. Currently, women make up about 30% of the global data science workforce, aided by initiatives like WiDS Worldwide and Girls Who Code. However, challenges such as wage gaps, leadership representation, and work-life balance persist. To foster growth, organisations should prioritise diversity, mentorship, equitable pay, and early exposure to STEM for girls. Continued efforts are necessary to achieve gender parity and ensure women's vital contributions shape the future of data science.
