O envelhecimento da população, também designado por envelhecimento do planeta, está a aumentar nos paÃses em desenvolvimento. O relatório da ONU sobre o envelhecimento (2023) indicou que a procura de cuidados de longa duração está a aumentar em muitos paÃses à medida que a população de idosos aumenta. O FNUAP (2022) destaca o censo de 2019 do Quénia que aponta para a triplicação esperada do número de pessoas idosas para 10,3% até 2050. A esperança de vida no Quénia entre 2019 e 2023 aumentou de 66,70 para 67,47, enquanto a taxa de fertilidade total diminuiu de um máximo de 8,1 em 1977-78 para 3,4 filhos por mulher em 2022. Este rápido envelhecimento da população está a ocorrer num contexto de recursos económicos e sociais limitados. As tendências actuais indicam que muitos adultos africanos mais velhos são agora residentes permanentes nas cidades. A maioria dos estudos sobre as experiências das pessoas idosas em contextos urbanos são efectuados em paÃses mais ricos. A PolÃtica Nacional para as Pessoas Idosas no Quénia inclui explicitamente o objetivo de facilitar a prestação de cuidados e assistência razoáveis à s pessoas idosas, tanto por parte da famÃlia como do Estado.
