Die Alterung der Bevölkerung, auch graying of the planet genannt, nimmt in den Entwicklungsländern zu. Im UN-Bericht über das Altern (2023) wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Nachfrage nach Langzeitpflege in vielen Ländern mit dem Anstieg der Bevölkerung älterer Menschen sprunghaft ansteigt. UNFPA (2022) verweist auf Kenias Volkszählung von 2019, die eine Verdreifachung der Zahl der älteren Menschen auf 10,3 % bis 2050 erwarten lässt. Die Lebenserwartung in Kenia steigt zwischen 2019 und 2023 von 66,70 auf 67,47 Jahre, während die Gesamtfruchtbarkeitsrate von einem Höchststand von 8,1 im Jahr 1977-78 auf 3,4 Kinder pro Frau im Jahr 2022 zurückgeht. Diese rasche Bevölkerungsalterung findet vor dem Hintergrund begrenzter wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Ressourcen statt. Die aktuellen Trends deuten darauf hin, dass viele ältere afrikanische Erwachsene jetzt dauerhaft in den Städten leben. Die meisten Studien über die Erfahrungen älterer Menschen in städtischen Kontexten finden sich in reicheren Ländern. Die nationale Politik für ältere Menschen in Kenia beinhaltet ausdrücklich das Ziel, die Bereitstellung angemessener Pflege und Unterstützung für ältere Menschen sowohl durch die Familie als auch durch den Staat zu erleichtern.
