If you’re chronically online like most youths nowadays, you will have noticed the emergence of several micro-trends on platforms like TikTok, Pinterest, and Instagram for so-called ‘mob wife’, ‘old money’, and ‘tradwife’ aesthetics – fashion movements towards classically conservative styles. And if you follow financial news, you might also have seen sources like Forbes anticipating a potential recession by looking at traditional indicators like global Gold & Oil prices and consumer confidence surveys. Coincidence? I think not: these things are more connected than you may think. Sounds crazy, but the explanation is surprisingly simple.

The rise of social media, influencer culture, and algorithm-driven success has pushed people away from passion, art, and craftsmanship, replacing depth and true meaning with lifeless performance, ultimately reinventing and reweaving the job market.

In April 2025, McDonald’s reported a drop in U.S. customer visits for the third consecutive quarter. On the surface, it looked like a business adjusting for inflation. But beneath that was a much clearer economic signal: American consumers, especially low-to middle-income ones, are pulling back, not just on luxuries, but on value meals. This isn’t just about fast food. It’s about a sluggish consumer economy.

The Article below was assigned to our spring 2025 intern, Dimitris Zilidis, and was written with the close supervision of our Team. Dimitris, who holds an MSc in Marketing from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam (Netherlands), has recently moved to Cyprus after gaining some vital experience working as a Market Research Analyst at a reputable firm in Greece, following the completion of his higher studies in 2024. Ultimately, the article has provided an opportunity for Dimitris to outline his views and thoughtful concerns regarding the ever-important issue of junior employment opportunities in modern job markets. Our Company has also gained insight from an informative and topical piece of writing, circulating around what the problem is and how this could be addressed and tackled to the core. It is certainly an enlightening piece and a quick, insightful read for everyone.

In recent times and over the last couple of decades, Cyprus has faced major challenges; demographic, socioeconomic, a critical financial drawback in 2013, a world health crisis in 2020, the FDI boom in recent years, and sanctions on foreign citizens, just to name a few. All that in the face of a country where populations are still living divided for over half a century now (the major political issue). This article, however, aims to focus on a single issue which we believe plays a critical role in the level of the country’s social welfare status daily. Yet, we have the feeling that through the years, it has been overlooked and paid much less attention to, than what it deserves by the mass majority of stakeholders. This issue is no other than the country’s Social Insurance Scheme.

Η διαχείριση των τραπεζικών υποθέσεων που αφορούν προβλήματα δανεισμού και αφερεγγυότητας αποτελεί ένα εξαιρετικά περίπλοκο πεδίο. Στη διαδικασία αυτή, η συνεργασία μεταξύ νομικών συμβούλων και συμβούλων αφερεγγυότητας είναι καθοριστική για την επιτυχή εκπροσώπηση και υποστήριξη των πελατών. Από τη μία πλευρά, οι δικηγόροι φέρουν την ευθύνη της νομικής προστασίας και της διασφάλισης των δικαιωμάτων των πελατών τους, ενώ από την άλλη, οι σύμβουλοι αφερεγγυότητας εργάζονται με στόχο τη βιώσιμη λύση των οικονομικών προβλημάτων. Αυτή η συνεργασία μπορεί να αποτελέσει τον ακρογωνιαίο λίθο για την εξεύρεση μιας ολοκληρωμένης λύσης.

Ever wondered why a restaurant you don’t really believe in or enjoy visiting is always packed with customers, day in day out, while your very own favourite spot doesn’t enjoy anywhere near the same loyalty? The former may even be more expensive and a lot fussier, yet people don’t seem to change their minds or back it down. Why just won’t they? To make this more apparent, we are referring to two restaurants of the same type (i.e., local businesses), thus comparing “apples with apples”, because comparing a franchise to a local business would be disproportionate and unfair.

While reading the Financial Times top news online on a hot summer day of July in Limassol, Cyprus, I stumbled across a quite peculiar yet...
