In the days when the notion of “keeping up with Jonesses” is stepping back to “keeping up with the network”, it is of great importance to seek an understanding of how classical theories and thoughts (such as Veblen’s conspicuous consumption from 1899) are potentially impacted as a result of the development of social media (SM). Nowadays, social media catalyses conspicuous consumption while expanding what is considered as a social group, and social classes and fuelling the aspirant group influence and social comparison. This paper provides a theoretical framework of the conspicuous consumption school of thought and characteristics of premium luxury fashion goods. It traces back-rooted consumption patterns from Bulgaria's background and argues the potential underlying motives of conspicuous consumption. It further investigates consumer behaviour and addresses the existing gaps in the extant academic literature by discussing the results of an online survey among 130 respondents (53.1% of respondents were under/or 25 years of age, and 46.9% were above 25). The main objective of the paper is to research the relationship between variables of conspicuous consumption, the symbolic value of displayed images online, social media intensity and the fulfilment of social needs in the context of Instagram as a selected social media. The study data demonstrates that Instagram intensity fosters social comparison, which leads to an increased need for uniqueness. Younger individuals and females, in general, have the desire to project a conspicuous image online, and they would most likely post their luxurious premium fashion products online. Findings have confirmed that social media fosters social comparison, resulting in an increased need for differentiation, uniqueness, and social conformity. The findings add to a growing body of literature on social media and substantially to our understanding of Bulgarian customers’ perception of premium luxury fashion products. Implications for Central European audience: Builds extant literature in the field of conspicuous consumption, which is a common phenomenon in post-socialist countries. Provides a custom methodology for studying the conspicuous display of fashion items on Instagram, which is one of the most used mediums of communication on a regular basis among young people in CEE (Eurostat, 2022) and the second most popular social media in Europe (Statcounter, 2022). The distribution of global social media users in Central Europe accounts for 5.7%, and 5% in Eastern (Statista, 2022). Results can be used by companies in the sector, new entrants, influencers, opinion leaders, etc.

The success of sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) depends upon the active support of all stakeholders. Hence, it is highly relevant and becomes the goal of this paper to perform a pilot case study about the negative determinants of readiness of the new Central European generation of financially sufficiently strong consumers to support CSR, in particular, to answer two research questions: (i) which is the prevailing determinant and (ii) is it gender sensitive. Therefore, 53 male and 53 female Generation Z students from a private university in Prague, ready to pay a CSR bonus, were surveyed in the Summer of 2021 regarding the negative determinants for their decisions. The collected answers were statistically processed via cross-tabulation and Chi-Squared Test measures, and the dependence between negative determinants and genders was considered to answer both research questions. The analysis of such data implies four prevailing negative determinants, two of them related to the infodemic, represented differently by male and female members of Generation Z. This leads to propositions linked to prior studies and advancing them in a new direction. Namely, this indicative pilot case study suggests that Generation Z's readiness to support CSR by paying a CSR bonus is eroded by the infodemic and that male members of Generation Z are more sensitive in this respect than female members. Implications for Central European audience: This article targets the underplayed issue of the factors deterring committed young consumers from their support for sustainability via their readiness to pay a CSR bonus. It empirically points out the relevancy of proper information and the negative and gender-sensitive impacts of the infodemic. Theoretical implications include a pioneering contribution to the conceptual appreciation, methodological processing and assessment of particular aspects of infodemic and negative CSR determinants on an emerging cohort of Central European consumers. Practical implications include the dramatic importance of enhancement of awareness and practical suggestions regarding how to inform these male and female consumers and engage them in sustainability and CSR.

The growing participation of women in the labour market is undoubtedly one of the main features of the evolution of the economies of the European Union (EU) during the last decades. Nevertheless, maintaining this increase remains an important policy goal due to the existing population ageing and gender employment gap. This paper aims to analyse the main determinants of female labour force participation (FLFP) in the EU countries using panel data regression analysis covering the period from 2000 to 2021. By employing the fixed effect regression analysis, an influence of dependent variables such as GDP per capita, presence of anti-discrimination laws, equal opportunities laws and affirmative action, women's participation in the work of parliament, total fertility rate, paid parental leave, retirement age with full pension benefits, women's education and annual net earnings are assessed on the female labour participation rate in the European Union. Moreover, the robust standard error procedure was performed for model estimation. The empirical results indicate that GDP per capita, total fertility rate, equal age for retirement for men and women, annual net earnings, and female upper secondary and post-secondary non-tertiary education and tertiary education enrolment represent significant determinants of FLFP, where all stated variables have a positive influence on the FLFP rates. Therefore, improvement in education levels, annual net earnings, and gender equality policies influence women to participate more in labour markets. These findings demonstrate the significance of improving education and earnings levels and the necessity of the development of adequate policies that will provide that. Implications for Central European audience: The results of this study provide insightful findings concerning the main drivers of female labour force participation in the European Union by taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic period's labour market indicators.
