Safety & Quality of Life
Switzerland is a very safe country and offers an extremely high quality of life. Switzerland receives high scores, in both cities and rural regions, for important criteria such as income, healthcare, climate and geography, political stability, safety and security, individual freedom, and family and community life. The Swiss cities of Zurich, Bern and Geneva have for years occupied the top spots in global rankings of cities compiled by the global consultancy firm Mercer.
Income & Cost of Living
The average Swiss household has 2.23 inhabitants with a combined monthly earned income of 7,304 Swiss francs. Together with income from other sources and transfer income, gross income totals 9,946 Swiss francs. After deduction of social security contributions and taxes, approximately 70% remains as disposable income for consumption. According to a UBS study, Switzerland is in first place with the worldʼs highest purchasing power, i.e. the highest real disposable income when compared with prices.
