Switzerland ranks high in several metrics of national performance, including government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic competitiveness, and human development. Switzerland give precedence to issues of social welfare for anyone who live in countries.
The Swiss Constitution guarantees a basic living to anyone in need and everyone has the right to assistance towards economic independence and social integration.
Social welfare costs are paid by cantons and communes; the only exception are benefits for asylum seekers which are paid by the Federal Government.
People who receive social welfare is all people resident in Switzerland who cannot cover their own basic living costs.
