# In Nepal, Gen Z’s Revolt is Rooted in Years of Betrayal, Inequality, and Broken Promises

Nepal’s Generation Z is rising with a defiance shaped by decades of political instability, unfulfilled promises, and systemic inequality. Born in the aftermath of the civil war and political transitions, this generation grew up amid pledges of democracy, inclusion, and prosperity. Yet, what they have witnessed instead is a cycle of corruption, elite dominance, and repeated failures to deliver meaningful change. Their frustration is not sudden—it is the culmination of a long history of betrayal by leaders who promised transformation but preserved the status quo.

For many young Nepalis, the promises of equitable opportunities, quality education, and dignified employment remain illusions. Despite being the most educated generation in the country’s history, Gen Z faces one of the highest youth unemployment rates in South Asia. Thousands leave each year for foreign labor markets, compelled to endure hardship abroad because of the lack of prospects at home. This migration reflects not only economic disparity but also the disillusionment with institutions unable—or unwilling—to create a thriving environment for youth.

Social inequality further fuels their dissent. Marginalized communities still face discrimination in access to resources, representation, and justice, while corruption erodes trust in governance. Gen Z, hyperconnected through digital platforms, sees these injustices in real time and is quick to mobilize against them. Their protests, online campaigns, and cultural expressions reflect a demand for accountability, fairness, and dignity that older generations often settled for less.

Ultimately, Nepal’s Gen Z revolt is more than youthful anger—it is a moral reckoning. They are challenging entrenched hierarchies, questioning outdated politics, and insisting on a future that honors the sacrifices of the past. Their voice is reshaping Nepal’s socio-political landscape, proving that silence is no longer an option when betrayal has become tradition.
