Opfikon, :
In 2024, 8.4% of people living in a Swiss household where someone needed ongoing care named cost as the main reason they received no paid help at home, or too little. In 2016 the share was 18.7%.
Fewer people name cost than in 2016, but 8.4% still means about one person in twelve in these households goes without paid help at home, or gets too little, mainly because of the price.
The figure is taken from the data published with the study. Method and sources: Paid help at home in Switzerland: one in twelve people in households needing care name cost as the main barrier (2024)
