Generation Z in Nepal: Clash Between Technology and Tradition

Summary

Generation Z in Nepal, aged 12 to 28, is driving a shift towards technology and AI-driven careers, contrasting with the country's outdated government and education systems. Without adaptation, Nepal risks brain drain and economic stagnation.

Key Points
  • Generation Z in Nepal, born between 1997 and 2012, is highly tech-savvy and relies on AI tools in daily life and careers.
  • Nepal's government and education systems are outdated, hindering the integration of AI and digital innovation.
  • The lack of legal recognition for gig economy and remote work negatively affects startups and employment.
  • If Nepal ignores Gen-Z's needs, it risks brain drain, economic dependency on remittances, and social unrest.
