India's Generation Z Growing as Electoral Force but Underrepresented in Legislatures
India's Generation Z, defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, constitutes over a quarter of the population and is increasingly influential in public discourse and politics. Despite this, only 26 Gen Z legislators serve nationwide, including six Lok Sabha MPs, reflecting limited political representation. Gen Z's presence is growing as an electoral force, projected to be the largest adult generation by 2029, with active engagement in issues like education, employment, and climate. Their political influence is rising, though their legislative representation remains low.
