“From Madagascar and Morocco to Peru this week, from Serbia and Kenya earlier this year to Indonesia and Nepal last month, youth across the globe are calling to account political and economic systems that are not working for them. Young adults in the United States aren’t taking to the streets in such dramatic fashion. But American Gen Zers – generally those between 13 to 28 years of age – are also questioning prevailing priorities and seeking alternative approaches to political and economic challenges. Sixty-one percent of young Americans do not identify with either the Republican or Democratic party, says the Institute for Citizens and Scholars. But they value dialogue with those they disagree with: More than 37% of Gen Z respondents find such conversations ‘interesting and informative,’ compared with only 22% of respondents nationally.” (10/03/25)
