The Household Budget

The income and expenditure of private households in Switzerland are presented here in the form of overview tables of the household budget. Detailed tables on expenditure are additionally available as well as tables on consumed quantities.

Debt Situation

The results about the debt situation are based on a module of the SILC survey. These describe the debt situation of people living in households in Switzerland. The module only tests the presence or not of debt, and does not ask about its volume.
