WorldFrom France to the world: Why is Generation Z taking to the streets?

Youth protests have recently erupted in France, Albania, India and Argentina, driven by issues ranging from education and elections to the cost of living. In France, about 550,000 people demonstrated over rising fuel prices, high living costs and deteriorating public services. Most protests were peaceful, but some areas saw violence: Limoges city hall was set on fire, shops were damaged and more than 2,400 people were arrested. President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence. BBC teams examine the wider wave and the political and social effects of earlier youth movements.
