    It’s been 4 years. I am tired. Switzerland burned me out. I can‘t wait to leave.
    - Terrible work culture, the worst work-life balance in Europe (or lack of it).
    - Not much employee protection.
    - Extremely high costs of living.
    - Overpriced health care.
    - Nothing to do except sports.
    - Shops-Always-Closed.
    - tasteless food. No food culture.
    - Unfriendly for women to have children.
    - As a foreigner you will be likely underpaid compared to Swiss colleagues.
    - Unfriendly people
    - Really hard to learn language because of spoken dialects. (No, German is not and won’t be ever enough)
    - Swiss mentality that believes there are no problems in Switzerland.
    - Everything is few times more expensive than in neighbouring countries.
    - Poor quality and poor selection in shops and grocery stores (monopoly of migros and coop)
    - owning your own house comes with a huge tax that is forcing people to rent all their life.
    Overall quite sad and boring place to live. Yeah, you can save money but it will cost you your mental health.
    I totally see why people leave within 10 years - it‘s enough to save money for a house in other country and move out.
    Every year in Switzerland takes away part of my soul. Just have to hold through a bit more.

      Amazing description, I have been like in another country, but in that country I was tht salary was rather normal for European standards and when I left I had no money to buy a house, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
      I think most of the immigrants in that country seems to bear that lack of everything you mentioned, just because they have a better salary, that probably will be my point, to save money and go back to my country.
      I heard about stories regarding a little bit of noise after 10PM, calling cops for flushing the toilet, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, just mental.
      But there are people that are truly fan of living there. Very interesting, I will taste it myself and see..

    I dream to leave Switzerland and move to Cambodia a country I visited several time. I am a Swiss woman living in the french part of the country. People are cold in Switzerland, I feel a lot of negativity. People do not know smiling. It is difficult to have friends. I traveled a lot around the world and every time I return to Switzerland I feel like a stranger. Agressivity, selfishness are a major problem for me. I feel more at home abroad. Staying in my country makes me more sad and depressed. I cannot stay longer. I am sad to speak about Switzerland like that but I know that many expats complain that Switzerland is an unfriendly country and I completely agree.

    In terms of the rate of foreigners leaving Switzerland, I think this is in part due to the fact that it's actually quite difficult to integrate into the society. I think some people feel unwelcome and decide that it's easier to leave than to continue fighting their way through it.

    Switzerland lived in a bubble for so many years thanks to the banking secrecy. Lots of money moved in the country. This made Swiss people believe they are somehow better and that they do not need to learn from others. All this drammatically change dsince the end of banking secrecy in 2008. Now switzerland has to learn to compete like everybody. Their high prices for everything is not justified anymore. Money are going to Singapore. If Switzerland does not adapt to the change, they will end up like Credit Suisse. A total desaster.

      Rubbish! I`m Swiss and i never thought that i was better than others, also i didn`t get any of the money that came into the country, that was the banks who got that. There are more reasons than 1 on why things are more expensive here, our VAT is the lowest in Europe, and the EU can be cheaper because they have a bigger market to sell to, whereas we only have 9 million people (enough for a small country like ours).

    Honestly, i grew up here in Switzerland and speak the language and all of that. In my opinion Switzerland has beautiful places to offer with lakes and mountains and the overall safety, incurances and cleanness that comes with living here as a swiss person is something i really appreciate. I generally also can say we have a good life because we can afford living here and going for holiday is seen as something to save money almost, because it's so much cheaper. And I am very gratefull for that but I must also say that it is really depressing here most of the time due to weather and people always being stressed. In my opinion swiss may have a lot of physical money and all of that but still are constantly judging, clomplaining and so on about minor issues or inconviniences. I love going to other countries because I feel more appreciated there even though I myself grew up here what i find a bit sad. I can also see how unwelcoming the swiss are to foreigners because my mom herself isn't from here. They treat here like she isn't as good as they are even though she might work or do more. I really think it's a pity due to our overall wealth and no big crises like war or not having enough food that there isn't much culture and so many people are just reserved and in bigger cities like Zurich literally arrogant. I am sorry for anyone that has experienced something similar from what i've mentioned above and i hope you find joy and love in other countries.🌸

      Unfortunately, what you said is true and its very very sad. So many Swiss people reacted aggressively towards me for maybe not doing something the way they expected me to do or in their eyes I did something wrong or not followed a rule enough and they leash out at you and try to play the police. Its very frustrating and happened to me so many times. I dont get it. Some Swiss people really need to chill out and relax a bit more. I oftentimes felt targeted for no reason at all, especially from older Swiss people. They can sense you are not Swiss and then they really show their ugly character. So sad for anyone who just wants to be themselves and not be bothered and just live in peace, but the peace is disrupted by these type of people. I moved away because I couldnt deal with it anymore.

      That`s not true, i`m Swiss and i have German friends and friends from other countries too, if people come here and they work and pay their taxes and are not criminals then there is no problem. Also if you go to another country it`s up to you to make an effort to fit in, i have lived in Australia for quite a few years and i had to make an effort to learn the language and integrate. I didn`t expect for Australians to change everything just because i turned up.If some Swiss don`t like some immigrants its because they`ve had a bad experience with them, we have Tibetans and other Asians who live here and have no problem with them, just as an example. As for the weather, we can`t control that, that is just a geographical thing, there is also more than one reason why things are dearer here, our VAT though, is the lowest in Europe. Swiss are more reserved, but once you get to know them, they make good friends.

    Switzerland is an awesome place, I´ve been living here for 2 years and don´t even think about leaving it. Even though, there is one particular aspect which makes it very hard to live here.. socialising is very hard, swiss people may seem very shy, cold and reserved. Many foreigners can´t stand the social isolation on a long term and just leave the country for this. But most of them have one thing in common: they don´t speak the local language very well. E. g. not speaking Swiss German in the german speaking part on a long run will lead to problems cause swiss people love their linguistic identity and want to maintain it. Officially nobody complains cause swiss people want to be neutral but they won´t open up and you will not win their heart when you speak High German or English (languages they will probably know too). I can tell you from my personal experience.. I´m a Gerrman speaking Swiss German fluently and it´s so much easier for me to get to know new people than for my german mates here. On the other hand my French is rusty and I have a hard time socialising in the french part. Guess why.. Bottom line is: Learn the local language/dialect, be interested in the culture and not just the money and living here will be so much easier. I´d recommend everyone moving here attending a language or dialect course from scratch so you´ll integrate very quickly.

      We are more reserved, maybe that comes from our climate, but once you get to know us we can make good friends, i know it takes longer. I have German friends and also friends from other countries, i don`t care where someone is from, it is their character which is more important. Swiss German is hard to learn for a foreigner as it is a dialect and there are many dialects in the German speaking part of the country. High German is probably easier for someone to learn than Swiss German.

    • @truthseeker4084
      @truthseeker4084 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Having to speak Swiss German although it is a dialect is about separating yourself from others instead of connecting. Swiss German is a dialect like Bavarian and no Bavarian person would require a non native speaker to be fluent in that dialect or not accept them if they cant speak the dialect. No person who didnt grow up with Bavarian would understand it at first and hell no, they wouldnt be able to speak it fluently. Integration means that both people are open for it and the Swiss want you to give up your own identity and assimilate to their preference and way of being. Thats just wrong, unwelcoming and racist. They make you feel bad for being yourself. Dont make a fuss out of a dialect that everyone can understand after a while. You do not need to speak it, its much better to be able to speak standard German and another language of Switzerland. Thats REAL integration. To be able to also speak Italian, French and adapt to all cultural aspects of the Swiss society. It doesnt make you a better Swiss because you speak dialect as there are also Swiss people who speak French and never learn the dialect. Are they now also bad integrated for being Swiss but not speaking dialect? Why a foreigner has to learn the dialect to be accepted but not a French speaking Swiss person. I know several people from Geneva who speak German but not the dialect and thats TOTALLY OK!!! No Bavarian would act like that. Swiss people are so inflexible in their mind that they feel offended by standard German or someone who doesnt speak dialect. Its rude and rediciolous.

      When I came to Switzerland I already spoke High German in a very high level (C2). Very quickly I found out that the majority of swiss don't like speaking high German. They speak either their dialect or English. Besides that they don't really like foreigners and even if they do like you they will not welcome you to their communities. They also never take responsibility and accuse always the others.

    The statistic is quite alarming on how many persons leave but how I view Switzerland it's a very beautiful country, very inviting but seems a bit boring (apart from sightseeing I mean what else is there to do?). what I mean is that it's not very fast going like other countries and it also seems to be a country where most people go when they retire hence the not so much fast pace or a little on the boring side. So that's one of my opinion on why I think they leave Switzerland. The other could be the high cost of living.

    That is a staggering return rate; we are shocked but happy to learn about this fact. Considering how well paid people are in Switzerland, having a hefty savings after living here for a while could be a reason for the high percentage of migrants returning back to their homelands. After all, one can do so much more with the Swiss Francs outside of Switzerland than in Switzerland. Another reason could be livelihood…. as beautiful as Switzerland is, not everyone enjoys quaint and seclusion, other cultures are more colorful and exciting, and if one’s culture is that way, an adjustment to Swiss life is nearly impossible. As for the Swiss who are leaving, that could be the fact that they’ve gotten wind of a more open and friendly lifestyle and are drawn to it, who knows, or wind of their money power elsewhere.
    We found it interesting that one of your reasons would be a job offer or opportunity in the UK, because we left the UK for Switzerland 😁😁, but that is Migration for you, it continues to intrigue us.

I love that it is peaceful here to live, maybe that is boring for some, if they don`t like somewhere peaceful they shouldn`t come in the first place. A lot of people come here to use the country to make money, but just moan about everything all the time, it seems we are good enough to be used to make money, a lot of these people wouldn`t be able to buy something in their own countries because of the low income they have there, so maybe Switzerland isn`t so bad after all if they can make enough money to buy property in their own countries.

      Well the climate is no-one`s fault, that`s a geographical thing isn`t it. No-one can be blamed for that. People know before they come here that it is a small country, you can`t expect it to be the same as a big country like America, or Canada or Australia, if you don`t want to live in a small country, don`t go there in the first place. As for property if you have a good deposit it is possible to buy a good apartment, i lived in Australia and moved back to Switzerland in 2008 and in the last 16 years have bought 5 apartments over those years, i moved a few times, but now i have bought an apartment which i intend to stay in, not moving again. The second apartment i bought new here had some foreigners who also bought an apartment in my block, so it is possible for people to buy property here, you just need a good deposit, about 20% of the cost of the apartment. I don`t know what you mean by no ambition allowed. There are plenty of ambitious people here.

  • @christheswiss390
    @christheswiss390 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
    Consider this: from the 1960 to 2020, Switzerland grew from 5.328 million people to 8.637 million people. That's a whopping 62.1% population growth rate and one of the highest in Europe, especially among the wealthiest and most highly industrialized nations in Europe, and it easily proves that millions MORE have immigrated to - rather than emmigrated from - Switzerland. And you think this proves that Switzerland is doing something wrong? Perhaps you should treat yourself to the human development index (HDI) statistic published annually. Which country do you think has been in the top ten for as long as the index has been compiled by the OECD and currently is ranked second in the world? It would be interesting to see which country you are returning to and where that country sits on the HDI index! 😉
    During the same time frame, the rate of foreigners in Switzerland has risen from apprx. 7% to toda'ys second higherst rate in Europe at 30%!
    For your reference, I Use the following data that are all publically available:
    (1) United Nations Population Division. World Population Prospects: 2019 Revision. (2) Census reports and other statistical publications from national statistical offices, (3) Eurostat: Demographic Statistics, (4) United Nations Statistical Division. Population and Vital Statistics Reprot (various years)
    So contrary to your insinuations, Switzerland has been - and continues to be - a massive MAGNET for foreigners since >60 years. The OECD and UN macro numbers CLEARLY and unrefutably show what happened in Switzerland at a larger scale in the past 60 years and (unfortunately) continues to happen in the present.
    Retirement: The Swiss Franc is one of the strongest currencies in the world and has consistantly been increasing in value against ALL other major currencies for over 50 years (against the US Dollar over 500%!! since 1970). At the same time, the net pension payout in Switzerland (converted to US Dollars) is one of the HIGHEST in the world. This means after retirement, even a less affluent person from Switzerland can effectively move to almost any nation in the world and live like a queen off the Swiss pension funds, because almost every country in the world has a far less valuable currency and thus also usually FAR lower local prices than in Switzerland. This is why so many Swiss retire abroad and why Spain, Portugal Thailand, the Philippines, Greece, South Africa, Namibia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Isreal and many other ocean bordering or warm climate countries are full of 10s or even 100s of thousands of retired Swiss - because they can afford a much higher standard of living abroad than in Switzerland, enjoy servants, cooks, maids, drivers, golf, travel and health insurance with their often fairly slim (in Swiss francs) pensions. So giving THAT aspect up in your situation is what I would call economic suicide. But hey, your a grown woman and have this economy and pension thing "all figured out"... 😂
    Not "finding a place in society" can be difficult. Often, it can be because we resist integration and often it can be because we have to high and outsized expectations of what this new society is supposed to give us (mainly younger generations).
    At the end of the day, every statistic in the world shows Switzerland to be one of the most successful and prosperous societies on the PLANET. By a MILE. Given that fate had afforded me the opportunity to become part of the chosen few that get to live in - and benefit from - such a highly successful society, relative wealth and direct democracy, I would make it my RESOLVE to make it here and find my spot. Oh wait, I DID. But I recognize not everyone can make it everywhere.
    I'm always a bit surprised how little foreigners seem to understand about a country they've spent so many years in and how its economy really works. But I'm even more surprised when I hear which greener pastures they have "discovered" and where they are moving to next and WHY. Better not go read that revealing HDI statistic on your new destination anymore, since it WILL be far lower than Switzerland anyway... 😉
    But I really DO hope you do well in your next endevour and find a happy place to live!

      1960-2020? Ok thanks for the info and your hard work. However, I did not make up the numbers presented. I saw a high (80%) emigration rate from 1998-2020 and that trigged my curiosity.
      I was not trying to be an economist nor a statistician. I simply presented a statistic and asked my viewers their opinion why do they think people leave Switzerland.
      My goal for this video was not to compare Swiss population growth from 1960-2020. It was to show the emigration rate from 1998-2020 and I think I did just that.
      I will leave your comment so my viewers can see your brilliant researching skills. Now go watch the video in its entirety because clearly you did not.

      @@InthelifeofDanellejam For the time frame you deem so necessary (1998 - 2020) to underline the singular statistic you "found" but don't understand, the population growth of Switzerland was actually 21.47%, as the Swiss population in that year was 7.11 million. I also checked all the individual years. EVERY year in your desired timeframe showed a growth in total SWISS population. EVERY year from 1998 all the way to 2020. So no net decrease EVER. BTW: you asked for this input in your video. I answered with actual facts. You're welcome.
      You are obviously misinterpreting the statement you read, but you seem to not want to accept facts. That's fine by me. How's that attitude been working out for you lately?
      Making fun of people using actual knowledge just because it doesn't fit your narrative: No prob for me - I'm good. 😊

    I think your 2nd and last reasons are probably the big factors. Integration into Swiss society seems like something people express being tough. And building a supportive network can be challenging as an adult even “at home,” but doing it abroad has got to be next level.
