In this paper, it will be examined whether breastfeeding activity is related to decline on job employment in Kenya. While many mothers do some breastfeeding, it may be difficult to find jobs because they have to stay home for feeding. Recently, as the need for income is growing, it is appropriate to find the job-seekers even though they are on the stage of breastfeeding. This paper will focus on this matter particularly in Kenya as a developing country.
