Rate of employees with managerial function

The rate of employees with a managerial function (excluding apprentices) allows the position on the labour market of people from different population groups to be assessed. This indicator enables the different population groups to be placed on a hierarchical job scale.

The population without a migration background had 34% of employees with a managerial function in 2018. In the population with a migration background, the rate was significantly lower at 32%. People with a migration background from the second or subsequent generations and those from the first generation have a rate equal to that of the population with a migration background.

Between 2012 and 2018, the rate of employees with a managerial function remained stable  in the population without a migration background. Among the population groups with a migration background, however, rates fluctuated depending on the year. The rate of the first generation with a migration background rose gradually and significantly, increasing from 30% in 2012 to 32% in 2018. In the second or subsequent generations, the rate did not change significantly between 2012 and 2018.

In all the major regions no statistical difference can be seen in the rates of managerial function between the population without a migration background and the second or subsequent generations, with the exception of Northwest Switzerland where the population with a migration background shows higher rates than the second or subsequent generations.

In Espace Mittelland, the population without a migration background shows higher managerial function rates than the population with a migration background from the first generation.

There is no significant difference in the managerial function rates between the first and the second or subsequent generations.
