The last time the social assistance rate in Switzerland was below three percent was in 2008.

Since the introduction of social assistance statistics in 2005, the social assistance rate only reached this level in 2008, the Federal Statistical Office (BFS) announced on Monday. Fears that unemployment in particular could have a negative impact on social assistance as a long-term consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic remain unconfirmed.

The decline is accompanied by a further decline in the number of newly opened social assistance files and a simultaneous increase in the number of social assistance receipts completed. The decline in the social assistance rate is visible in all risk groups. Minors, foreigners and divorcees would continue to receive the highest social assistance rates. However, the decrease is greatest among these risk groups. (SDA)
