Regional economic disparities in Switzerland are among the lowest among OECD countries. With a productivity growth of 1.7% per year over the period 2008-14, Ticino not only had the highest level of productivity in 2014 but also recorded the largest growth among Swiss regions. Following a significantly lower productivity growth (0.1% per year), Zurich was replaced by Ticino as the frontier region in terms of productivity in Switzerland in 2010. With a youth unemployment of 15.6% in 2017 that was similar to the OECD average, Lake Geneva had the highest youth unemployment in the country. Youth unemployment in Central Switzerland only amounted to 4.1%, 11.5 percentage points below the youth unemployment rate in Lake Geneva.

  • National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF)
    National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF) Type of document: Policy Brief, Statistical Analysis Expert groups involved: Tanja Stadler, expert group Data and Date of response: 08/12/2020 Modelling, expert group Economics, expert group leaders Contact person: Tanja Stadler On regional differences in the second wave. Executive summary: In October-November, the Romandy became a COVID19 hotspot in Switzerland and in Europe. Here we explore the reasons for this development by contrasting the development within different regions of Switzerland between mid-April and mid- November. Confirmed case data suggests that the Romandy became a hotspot due to higher incidence at the end of summer compared to the rest of Switzerland, and not due to faster growth of the epidemic during fall. Case numbers in the first half of November decreased fastest in the Romandy where also the strictest measures were implemented. The latest developments of the epidemic across regions are discussed in the Scientific Update (09.12.20). Main text The four cantons Vaud, Neuchatel, Geneva and Jura use French as the only official language and thus fully belong to the Romandy. The cantons Fribourg, Valais and Bern are officially bi-lingual (French and German). We perform analyses on the canton level below. In this document Fribourg and Valais are considered to be part of the Romandy, whilst Bern is not. Additionally, we consider the seven greater regions of Switzerland. Romandy is part of Lake Geneva Region and Espace Mittelland. The other five regions are Eastern Switzerland, Northwestern Switzerland, Central Switzerland, Zurich, and Ticino. All data presented in this document is publicly available data from the Federal Office of Public Health (confirmed case numbers) and the KOF Swiss Economic Institute (stringency).
