Consumer-Centric Innovation

Eshita Kabra-Davies, founder and CEO of By Rotation, noted in her interview with TechCrunch that the partnership is a direct response to user feedback. “Our community loves sustainable fashion, but they also expect the speed and convenience of e-commerce,” Kabra-Davies explained. The initiative is designed to eliminate the final friction point in the rental process, effectively easing the traditional ‘panic purchase’ scenario when urgent outfit needs arise.

Championing Sustainable Fashion

This collaboration marks an important step in transitioning from fast fashion to a more sustainable, circular economy. By offering rapid delivery of premium rentals, the alliance empowers consumers to opt for quality and longevity over disposable garments. The shift exemplifies how strategic partnerships can drive both environmental sustainability and enhanced consumer convenience.

Global Vision and Expansion

Since its inception in 2019, By Rotation has scaled its operations to become a global force in the rental market, boasting more than one million users and luxury inventory valued at over $100 million. Highlighting its innovative approach, the platform has even showcased success stories where users have leveraged wardrobe earnings for significant personal milestones. With recent expansions into markets such as New York and ambitions to break into the UAE, Kabra-Davies asserts, “Our ambition, like Uber’s, is global. We want to make the ‘rotating wardrobe’ the default mode of consumption everywhere.”

This strategic alliance between By Rotation and Uber not only alleviates logistic challenges but also charts a forward-thinking roadmap for sustainable consumption in the fashion industry.

Cyprus’ Strong Youth Employment Rate Still Does Not Guarantee Early Independence

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

September 16, 2026

Young people in Cyprus have a relatively high employment rate, but they leave the parental home later than the EU average, according to Eurostat data.

Cypriots left home at an average age of 27 in 2025, compared with 26.3 years across the EU. At the same time, 72.3% of people aged 20 to 29 in Cyprus were employed, well above the EU average of 65.5%.

Strong Employment Does Not Mean Early Independence

Only nine countries recorded higher youth employment rates than Cyprus. Iceland led at 85.3%, followed by the Netherlands at 84%, Malta at 82.1%, Switzerland at 78.3% and Germany at 77%.

Norway recorded 76.5%, Ireland 76.1%, Denmark 74.8% and Austria 74.6%. Eurostat said countries where young people leave home earlier generally tend to have higher youth employment rates.

Southern Europe Sees Later Moves

Finland had the lowest average age for leaving the parental home at 21.4 years, followed by Denmark at 21.8 and Estonia and Lithuania at 22.7. Croatia recorded the highest average at 31.5 years, followed by Greece and Slovakia at 30.9. Spain and Italy both stood at 30.2 years.

Across the EU, the average has remained close to 26 since 2002, rising only slightly from 26.2 years in 2024 to 26.3 years in 2025.

Cyprus Labour Market Is Cooling

The figures come as Cyprus’ labor market shows some signs of easing, although demand for workers remains relatively strong by European standards.

Separate Eurostat data showed Cyprus had the EU’s largest annual decline in its job vacancy rate in the second quarter of 2026. The rate fell to 2.6% from 3.3% a year earlier, but remained above the EU average of 2.0% and the euro area average of 2.1%.

Cost Of Living Remains A Factor

Housing and other living costs can also affect how quickly young workers establish independent households. Eurostat reported that Cyprus’ household consumption price level was 89.2% of the EU average in 2025.

A relatively lower overall price level does not eliminate affordability pressures for people on modest incomes. For younger workers, the issue can be whether wages are sufficient to cover rent, utilities, food and other basic expenses.

Cyprus therefore combines relatively high youth employment with a later transition to independent living, suggesting that access to work and the ability to afford a separate household do not always move together.
