The International Workplace Group (IWG) surveyed over 1000 hybrid workers about their work expectations. Nearly 60% reported that they are planning to work from anywhere around the world this year, with two-thirds saying their productivity doesn't depend on location. Since Covid, remote working and digital nomadism have soared. Hyper flexibility and workforce dispersion are becoming normalized within companies.
Everyday life
The profound changes experienced by the whole world since the pandemic have made some well-established expat destinations lose their appeal, and new ones become more attractive. The strictness of sanitary measures, political stability, and the cost of living during a period of worldwide inflation are all factors affecting this change in the choice of destination.

Everyday life
Within just a few days, a wide stretch of sand vanished along the west coast of Mauritius.

Schools & studies
Mauritius is about to join a already lengthy list of countries that have chosen to act. More than 60 nations have enacted laws or policies restricting smartphone use in schools. Among them are France, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Italy, Finland, Canada, and the Netherlands. The island, according to some observers, has been slow to follow suit. "Mauritius was too slow to react," say various stakeholders, who point to the antisocial behaviors that have proliferated in schools in the wake of mobile phone use.
