Abstract:

“The Swiss Social Report, published every four years since 2000 has a new name, a different format and appears under a new aegis: This new series, A Panorama of Swiss Society, is published by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) and the Universities of Neuchâtel and Fribourg and is the joint initiative of official statistics and social science research in the universities. The aim of the publication is to make important findings on key socio-political topics and fundamental trends in Swiss society accessible for public interest. As in the previous five Swiss Social Reports (see, for example Ehrler et al. 2016), the analyses presented are backed up by facts and reliable data. The indicators are based on representative surveys carried out to the highest of standards. At the same time, the various articles focus on current issues and look for explanations: Specialists present in-depth analyses of selected trends related to the topic of migration, which they seek to interpret and explain. Other features of the former Swiss Social Report have also been maintained, such as its multi-disciplinary (the present publication contains contributions from economics, sociology, political sciences and demography) or multilingual character (German, French and English editions, making discussions available to a wider public and giving the publication an international reach).”
