Nepal’s government responded to escalating violent protests over a ban on popular social media platforms with deadly force. The public outrage over the ban and the deaths of 19 protesters on Monday led to the resignation of the prime minister and exposed deep discontent over corruption. Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli also rolled backed the short-lived ban after protesters turned their anger on politicians by setting fire to homes of some of the country’s top leaders. Led by mostly teenagers and young adults, the protests revealed a broader resentment in Nepal, where many people have increasingly become angry with the...

The gender gap between men and women has been a durable fact of life in American politics — and nowhere is this gap larger than among the youngest cohort of American adults, Gen Z. But it’s not just politics driving the divide. The latest NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey shows how the political gender gap persists alongside different social beliefs between young men and women. Gender divides within adults ages 18 to 29 show up in questions ranging from how Americans feel about President Donald Trump to their views on what constitutes success. Young men and women...

Have you heard about the seismic shift in one of the key demographic groups that will shape American culture, politics and economics for decades to come? No, I'm not talking about the wholly unexpected shift of younger voters away to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.It is true that 58 percent of Gen Z men (that is, voters age 18 to 27), reported voting for Donald Trump in 2024. No GOP presidential candidate since the election of George H.W. Bush 36 years ago has received a majority of young male voters.That's a big deal, yes. But it's not...

A Yale Youth Poll from the spring of 2025 found that voters between the ages of 18 and 21 favored Republican candidates by double digits, which could be a sign that Democrats are finally slipping with America’s younger demographic. The survey revealed that although young people between the ages of 22 and 29 favored the Democratic candidate in their home congressional district for the 2026 election by a margin of about six points, those aged 18 and 21 favored the Republican candidate in their home district by almost 12 points. That’s a massive shift from years past, when younger voters...

As employers push harder for in-person work, employees are finding new ways to resist — without outright refusing to show up. Short of simply refusing to turn up office workers are finding new creative solutions to limit their in-person hours. The most popular trend du jour, driven largely by millennials, is 'coffee badging'. It involves showing up at the office just long enough to grab a coffee, greet the right people, and then quietly leave to finish the day working remotely. The behavior is now so widespread that executives are seeing it as a threat to their efforts to return...

In the past, the younger generation tended to rebel against the religious norms of their parents. Young people’s resistance to the rules and institutions of religion was assumed and expected. But that’s not the case anymore. According to a recent article from Axios, members of Gen Z—which includes young people born between 1997 and 2012—are actually more likely to go to weekly religious services than millennials and young Gen Xers.According to some reports, church attendance has quadrupled amongst Gen Zers in recent years.America witnessed a steady decline in Christianity from the 1970s through the 1990s, with only about 46 percent...

The kids are growing out of their Greta Thunberg era.. For years, the youth led the climate conversation — organizing school walkouts, sharing colorful infographics, and heckling Democratic lawmakers from the left. The tone was carried by urgency and moral judgement: “We have 12 years left.” Anything less than net zero emissions was seen as a betrayal. But now, as Gen Zers and younger millennials enter full-fledged adulthood — paying rent, dealing with utility bills, job-hunting and even starting families — they are souring on climate alarmism. Affordability concerns are giving way to a sense of realism about energy and...

"The biggest threat to the Republican Party in 2028 is if we do not deliver on our promises of [home]ownership for the next generation," Kirk told Fox News Digital in an interview at the Turning Point Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida… "If we don't fix the homeownership problem in this country, the cost-of-living crisis, and if we don't give the next generation [a chance] at being owners and not renters, we are going to see what I call ‘Mamdani-ism’ spread across the country," he predicted. The influential conservative media personality said there was no doubt that younger voters were...

It’s no secret that over the past 60 years U.S. Christian apologists have witnessed a dramatic cultural sea change. In the past, we could assume two things: the general belief in reasonable objective truths, and a baseline cultural familiarity with what’s in the Bible. All that shifted with the appearance of Gen Z, which Barna Group has dubbed “the first truly ‘post-Christian’ generation.” - Shifts in the Apologetics Landscape: 1. Students are asking questions about God at a younger age than before. 2. Nonbelievers now have equal access to young people. 3. There has been a move from objective to...

The kids aren’t alright. It’s no surprise that Gen Z — the generation born between 1997 and 2012 — isn’t the best with their money. A poll from Newsweek revealed that adult Zoomers have around $94,000 in personal debt — thanks to never-ending credit card spending. And the proof is in the pudding — according to the 2025 TIAA Institute-GFLEC finance and retirement report, most of Gen Z is financially illiterate. The report showed that on average, Zoomers score only 38% correct on financial literacy tests. Because of this, in the U.S., 29 states now require a personal finance course...

Across Europe, the job market has been shifting, leading to an uncomfortable situation for the younger generation. Gen Z workers born between 1997 and 2012 enter jobs faster than any cohort before them, but they leave them faster and often not by choice. A recent study reveals that Gen Z employees are terminated at noticeably higher rates than older generations. However, a deeper and more systemic issue is breaking down between generations, expectations, and what is actually termed “professional” in 2025. And Europe is struggling with inflation, stagnant wages, and a post-pandemic reckoning that may be the perfect storm for...

(The Epoch Times)—Inappropriate attire, excessive use of cell phones, poor quality of work, and foul language are just a few of the reasons 65 percent of U.S. hiring managers gave for firing college graduates who had recently started their first job. A Pollfish survey of 1,000 managers across America, reported by Resume.com, revealed the reasons that eight in 10 managers said newly hired college graduates did not work out during their first year on the job. Excessive use of cell phones ranked as the top pet peeve of managers, at 78 percent. Some 61 percent of managers found their new...

This was a really interesting couple of pieces I came across this morning, especially after writing that piece on all the student loan defaults. It seems there might be a trend back towards the trades beginning to appear among the Gen Z crowd. Some of the reasons seem obvious to me - the bloated cost of a college education, for one, and the ubiquitous nature of the sheepskin being required for even entry-level jobs now. If everyone needs a college degree, doesn't that necessarily dilute the value of earning one? ...That’s in part because of the cost of getting a...

Four years of classes, thousands of dollars in tuition and one freshly minted diploma — all to be outdone by a chatbot. As artificial intelligence floods the workplace, nearly half of Gen Z job seekers say their degrees have already been made obsolete by the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT — and they’re wondering why they even bothered hitting the books in the first place. It’s a waste of time and money, according to respondents to a new Indeed report, which found 49% of Gen Z job hunters think their college education has lost value in hoen defective...

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele took to social media to roast Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), one of the Democrat lawmakers who has taken time off his job to travel to El Salvador to advocate for the release of deported illegal migrants. Bukele, who recently entered a historic deal with the United States to house suspected members of criminal terrorist gangs Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13 that have been deported from the U.S. in El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), posted a suspicious comment that Frost made on X in 2016 on Tuesday. Frost, a far-left anti-gun activist who became...

More Gen Z voters are shifting Republican, challenging past trends Gen Z was key in re-electing President Donald Trump JD Vance leads GOP among young voters; Kamala Harris tops Dems A growing political divide is emerging among Americans under 30, as more young voters are shifting toward the Republican Party, according to a recent poll. If the trend continues, it could significantly reshape the future of U.S. politics. While younger voters have traditionally leaned Democratic, Generation Z played a crucial role in reelecting President Trump last November. A new Yale Youth Poll, affiliated with the Yale Institution for Social and...

Ghosted on dating apps, rejected by colleges and passed over for jobs — rejection isn’t fleeting for Gen Z. In fact, it’s becoming a defining feature of their collective identity. As young adults come of age in a culture shaped by hyper-curated digital existences, political tumult and cultural and economic instability, a new pattern has emerged: Gen Z is facing more rejections at more critical life stages than any recent generation. What happens when the entire group begins to internalize “no” as the default response? Author Delia Cai says Gen Z egos or their alleged “sense of entitlement” isn’t what’s...

Wes Bihn watched his sister slogging her way through six years of university training to enter the psychiatry field, and he knew that path wasn’t for him. “I was raised on a farm,” Bihn told Cowboy State Daily. “And I’ve pretty much worked nonstop my entire life, and I just always hated being in school.” The mere thought of spending six years in a classroom was like torture for Bihn, who is from Indiana, really driving home the realization that he wanted something different. Bihn is like a lot of people in Generation Z, ranging in age from 13 to...

You have to put it altogether to appreciate why the pro-abortion website rewire news group would run a story under the stern headline “Anti-Abortion Advocacy Is Rising on College Campuses.” We already know that as a generalization, Gen Z—18 to 29— is the most conservative age group in decades. We also know that pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris barely beat President Trump, 52% to 46% among Gen Z voters but that 57% of men under 30 voted for Mr. Trump. Newsweek’s Adeola Adeosun reported Recent AtlasIntel polling shows President Trump’s approval rating among 18–29-year-olds has climbed to 52.7 percent in...
