How we measure this

BFS · STATPOP

Share of permanent residents aged 0–19, per municipality, from the BFS STATPOP register (2023). A high child share is one indicator of family orientation; childcare provision and school quality are not nationally available per municipality and are therefore not part of this ranking.
