Nepal’s Gen-Z Movement-Youth’s Views and Voices about Political Future

Nepal’s Gen-Z Movement: Youth’s Views and Voices about Political Future examines the September 2025 Gen-Z uprising as a critical moment in Nepal’s contemporary political trajectory, situating it within longer-term patterns of political instability, economic stagnation, and governance failure. The study argues that while triggered by the government’s social media restrictions, the movement reflected deeper structural frustrations, particularly around corruption, lack of economic opportunity, and declining trust in political leadership, shared widely across Nepali society.
