From France to India, youth-led protests are confronting authorities with a range of demands related to education, employment, housing and government policies.
Although the causes vary from one country to another, the dissatisfactions of the younger generation have similarities, reflecting concerns about the economic and social future, the BBC reports.
In recent years, movements led by Generation Z have in some cases succeeded in overthrowing governments and forcing political changes.
However, other protests have died down without achieving their objectives.
Through reports from various countries, BBC News brings evidence on the reasons that have prompted young people to take to the streets, their demands, and the impact that these movements have had on political and social developments.
Generation Z protests are proving that young people's discontent can transform into broad social movements, but their outcomes depend on political circumstances and the ability to maintain mobilization over time.
