Abstract
The political landscape of Nepal has undergone significant
transformations over the past two decades, with youth movements playing a
pivotal role in shaping democratic discourse. Among these, Generation Z—born
approximately between 1997 and 2012—has emerged as a highly connected,
digitally active, and politically conscious cohort. This paper examines the
role of Nepal’s Gen Z in influencing democratic practices, policy debates, and
civic engagement. Drawing on secondary data, case studies, and digital activism
analysis, the study identifies both the opportunities and challenges posed by
this generation. Findings suggest that while Gen Z brings unprecedented energy,
innovation, and inclusivity to Nepal’s democracy, structural limitations,
political trust deficits, and generational gaps pose significant challenges.
The study contributes to understanding how emerging generations can reshape
democratic discourse in transitional democracies like Nepal.
