The average Gen Z life in Pakistan (2026)

Be 23.

Face inflation that never seems to slow down.

Watch regional conflicts like the Iran war create even more uncertainty.

Worry every time fuel prices climb toward 460 PKR per litre.

Graduate and find only low salaries or unpaid internships.

Wake up to another disturbing crime headline.

Think twice before taking your phone out in public because of snatching.

Deal with anxiety, stress, burnout, and loneliness while acting like everything is okay.

Then come home after travelling from one city to another for work, hoping to finally rest.

The electricity is gone.

You wait an hour.

It comes back.

A few minutes later, it's gone again.

Now you're sitting in complete darkness during a heat wave after a long day at work.

And then some elders say, "Gen Z has no real problems. You're the most ungrateful generation."

We're not saying previous generations didn't struggle. We know they did. But that doesn't make our problems any less real.

We're not asking for luxury. We just want a decent job, reliable electricity, safety, and the chance to build a normal life.

I'm 23 and honestly, it feels like every year brings a new problem instead of a better future.

Anyone else feels the same?
