Bangladesh: Gen Z Revolution, Elections, and Challenges

Bangladesh recently held its first elections following a student-led Gen Z revolution that toppled the previous government. Despite their revolutionary success, Gen Z voters faced significant challenges in the job market, influencing their priorities. Ultimately, the elections saw the old guard return to power, indicating a complex political transition. This trend of Gen Z political engagement is also observed regionally, with Nepal's youth propelling a rapper to potential prime ministerial candidacy, highlighting a broader Asian youth political awakening.
