The least wealthy country in the world

Switzerland is a highly developed capitalist country and one of the richest countries in the world, with the highest standard of living, the most stable society and one of the happiest citizens. Its tourism resources are abundant and it has the reputation of being a world park; its GDP per capita has always been among the highest in the world, so it can be said to be a country that is not bad at all.

Switzerland is also one of the most stable economies in the world. Its long-term policies, secure financial system and banking secrecy make Switzerland a safe haven for tax-avoiding investors. Living in Switzerland is relaxing, and working here has become a more comfortable thing to do. Although it is not a very demanding job, this does not mean that it does not pay well.

Many people may still be confused about the difference between Switzerland and Sweden, but the results of a referendum have refreshed the country's perception of Switzerland as a small European country. Referendums on matters of national importance have become a way of life for the Swiss people.

In early June 2016, Switzerland held a referendum on "unconditional basic income" to decide whether the government should give Swiss adults an unconditional monthly payment of 2,500 Swiss francs (about 16,000 yuan). In the end, 76.9% of Swiss voters said no to the proposal.

This is not the first time the Swiss have rejected a "pie in the sky". In May 2014, Switzerland rejected a minimum wage of CHF 22 per hour with 76% of the votes cast, and there is no national minimum wage law in place.

In March 2012, Switzerland voted 67 percent against increasing the number of paid holidays from four weeks to six weeks. For this rich country of 8 million people, it is feasible to take about 1/3 of the gross domestic product to "return wealth to the people.

Supporters claim the move is an attempt to make society fairer and change the inequality of income in Switzerland, while opponents fear it could cause burnout among the Swiss.

Switzerland has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, a very low unemployment rate and a low fiscal deficit. Many workers here can buy a Mercedes on a six-month salary, but spending in Switzerland is also relatively high.

Bahnhofstrasse is the center of Zurich in the true sense of the word, one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world, on par with New York's Fifth Avenue, and a must-see for everyone visiting Zurich.

It has high-end goods such as designer shoes, furs, jewelry and jewelry by the best fashion designers, and of course, Swiss watches. It is a mecca for world famous brands, and almost all the expensive brands and goods you can imagine can be found here, and the goods are well-made and of the highest quality. If you catch a sale, many big brands are discounted beyond your imagination.
