These are the findings of the third family barometer published by Pro Familia and pension insurer Pax on Thursday. They surveyed 2,200 families with at least one child throughout Switzerland from November 12 to 22 last year.
Overall, according to the authors, there is continuity in many topics compared to previous years. For example, a lack of financial resources remains the number one concern. Many respondents expect more money to improve their family life.
The top 5 issues that concern families also include health, housing costs, schools and education policy. Dealing with (social) media has become more important in recent years. In contrast, families are less concerned about climate change and energy security.
