Generation Z's Emerging Role in Global Protests and Social Change
Generation Z, comprising roughly one-third of the global population, is emerging as a significant political and social force worldwide. Youth-led protests have challenged governments in South Asia and beyond, driven by issues like economic inequality and governance. While some view Gen Z as angry, experts suggest their actions stem from frustration, anxiety, and a desire for fairness amid uncertain futures. Their digital connectivity and demand for transparency are reshaping activism and may influence future political and international relations.
