Families in Switzerland: Statistical Report 2021

What is the economic and social situation of families? How do they reconcile work and family life? What about separated or divorced parents and single-parent households? Answers to these questions can be found in the publication on families (available in French and German).

Leaving home

At what age do young people in Switzerland leave their parents' home? How far away from their parents do they move, how often do they stay in contact with their parents and what type of household do they live in once they have moved out? Answers to these questions can be found in the publication "Leaving home" (available in French and German).
