(No) Reason to Move
The Swiss definitely enjoy their lives abroad, as 80% of the respondents say they are overall satisfied with it and close to one-fifth (19%) even quote complete satisfaction. Some of the most important reasons for moving abroad are 카지노 게임 컬렉션 after being sent by an employer (16%) 카지노 게임 컬렉션 surprisingly love related: 13% moved in order to live in their partner카지노 게임 컬렉션s home country and one in ten moved due to the partner카지노 게임 컬렉션s job or education.
Besides moving for love or one카지노 게임 컬렉션s job, a comparatively high percentage of Swiss respondents (7% vs. a global 4%) also say their most important reason for the move was that they wanted to live in their particular country of residence. The quality of life, on the other hand, was less of a motivating factor: while worldwide over a quarter (26%) consider this to be a reason for their move and 9% even the most important one, Swiss respondents are less likely to quote this factor as a or even the main reason (15% and 6%, respectively). Considering that their country of origin, Switzerland, ranks in the top ten of the Quality of Life Index, this may not seem surprising.
International Love
Most of the Swiss respondents, a sound 70%, are in a relationship. Of these, 38% are together with a person from the same country they are living in, a higher than average percentage (33%) that also correlates with the higher than average portion of Swiss who moved abroad for love. The Swiss are significantly less likely to be in a relationship with a fellow Swiss national (28% against a worldwide 45%) and more than one-third (34%) have a partner from another country altogether.
Citizens of the World
Apparently, the Swiss like their host countries, seeing that 27% say they have been living there for more than ten years, with a further 18% between five and ten years. It does not come as a surprise then that 36% want to stay there forever, if possible. However, before potentially settling in their current host countries, a large portion of the Swiss respondents have had quite the cosmopolitan experience. In fact, nearly two-thirds of them (65%) have lived in two or more foreign countries before, not counting their current country of residence, and 19% even say they have lived in five or more countries.
Communication? Not a Problem
Languages are a piece of cake for the Swiss. One in three speaks as many as four languages (33%), whereas globally only 19% say the same. An additional third of Swiss respondents (34%) even speak five or more languages, and not one admitted to speaking just one language. The latter fact is somewhat biased due to the survey being conducted in English, however.
In their host countries, they don카지노 게임 컬렉션t seem to have language problems either, as 35% attest to speaking (at least one of) the local language(s) very well (versus 28% globally) and only 9% do not speak the local tongue at all. As a result, the language barrier is not a problem at all according to 52% of the Swiss respondents.
University Degrees Are Just One Option
When it comes to their level of education, the Swiss seem somewhat below the global average, with only about three-eighths of them (38%) having either a postgraduate degree or a Master카지노 게임 컬렉션s degree, and 28% having attained a Bachelor카지노 게임 컬렉션s degree or similar (versus 41% and 34%, respectively). However, with 16%, double the global average have instead completed a commercial, technical, or vocational training, which generally play a much larger role in the Swiss education system than in many other countries.
The Swiss in the Workforce
With this education, two in five are either employees or managers. A smaller amount, 12%, are either entrepreneurs or business owners, and another 13% are living abroad as retirees. Compared to all survey respondents, Swiss expats are much less likely to be found at educational institutions, whether as students abroad (1% vs. a global 4%) or teachers, academic staff, or researchers (1% vs. 8% worldwide). Those in an employment situation are often found in middle management (27%) and senior or expert positions (18%).
It카지노 게임 컬렉션s Not All about the Money
It seems Swiss people do not move abroad to earn more money. In fact, more than three-tenths of those working (31%) report an income which is a lot lower than back home and 57% in total say it is lower to at least some degree. Consequently, 47% generally agree to having suffered a loss in personal income since moving to their host country, whereas globally only 31% concur with this statement.
