Factors Influencing the Compliance with Decent Work in Coffee Production and Primary Processing in Kenya

: Coffee is one of the cash crops that contributes more to the Kenya’s exports and also provides 30% of agricultural jobs. However, casual workers within coffee estates still get challenging employment conditions including long working hours, unfair wages, limited work security, and lack of collective bargaining that results in poor living standards. Moreover, no research that shows factors influencing compliance with decent work in the Kenyan coffee. This study sought to provide new literature about factors influencing decent work compliance in production and primary processing within Coffee estates in Kiambu county. Snowballing sampling method was used to collect data among 385 respondents from four coffee estates. Multivariate probit model was used to determine the significance of hypothesized factors to the compliance of decent work. Results showed that age, gender, marital status, education, the position of an employee, estate ownership, the estate size, coffee marketing channel, monthly salary, working hours, break time, training, and ILO’s inspection were significantly influencing the compliance with decent work. Moreover, there is a need of a collaboration between government of Kenya and International Labour Organisation to put into the place the consistent inspections to ensure the compliance of decent work in coffee production and primary processing.
