From Dhaka to Delhi: Gen Z movements driven by job scarcity

Beyond the slogans and protests seen at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, the streets of Dhaka, government buildings in Kathmandu, and university gates in Lima, a common thread connects the youth of today. This generation followed the traditional path of education and degree attainment, only to face a locked job market.

According to The Business Standard, these movements are less about political ideology and more about the systemic failure to provide employment. Despite fulfilling their societal obligations, young people find themselves excluded from the workforce, leading to widespread frustration.
