Sustainable development
Peoples health is improving
Principle: Promoting health
People who feel healthy are often more contented than those
who are ill or disabled. At the same time, they are also more productive. The benefits of living a long and healthy life are mainly
felt by people themselves. However, the goal of a healthy lifestyle
is also worth pursuing in the interests of the economy and society as a whole.

essential for individuals to constructively adapt to changes taking
place in society.

Material intensity is decreasing
Principles: Ecologically acceptable production; Ecologically and
socially acceptable consumption
One of the main goals of sustainable development is to
bring about a gradual dematerialisation of the economy so as to
lessen the environmental impact of human and economic activities. Material and energy flows must be optimised so that natural
resources can be maintained in the long run.

An aging society
There are now many more elderly people than 50 years ago.
The number of over 64-year-olds has more than doubled since
1950, while the number of 80+ year-olds has even quadrupled. In
contrast, the number of under twenties has increased much less
and has actually declined since the early Seventies. This aging
process is the result of longer life expectancy and fewer births.
According to FSO population scenarios, this trend will continue
over the next few decades.

State of health
83% of the population (84% of men and 81% of women) perceived
their general state of health as good or very good (2012). The
percentage of people who consider their health to be (very) good
steadily drops with age. This proportion is also lower among
people whose level of education does not exceed compulsory
schooling than among people with tertiary level education (62%
compared to 90%). The percentage of people who rated themselves as being in (very) good health has decreased within five
years (2007: 87%; 2012: 83%). This decline is valid for all age
groups but is particularly pronounced for men aged between 55
and 74.
41% of the population are overweight or obese; 51% of men
and 32% of women. The percentage of overweight or obese
people almost stabilised between 2002 and 2007. Since then, it
has increased again.
89% of men and 78% of women consume alcohol; 17% of
men and 9% of women consume alcohol on a daily basis. The frequency of alcohol consumption increases with age: 38% of men
and 20% of women aged 65 years and older consume alcohol
on a daily basis. The percentage of daily consumers among men
has fallen from 31% to 17% since 1992.
28% of the Swiss population smoke; 32% of men and 24%
of women. The largest proportion of smokers among men are
between 25 and 34 years (43%) and among women between 15
and 24 years (32%). While compared to 1992 the percentage
of male smokers fell from 37% to 32% in 2012, this percentage
remained stable among females.

Unemployment
Unemployment is closely linked to economic developments. After
reaching a historic high in 1997 (5.2%), the unemployment rate
fell back to 1.7% in 2001, only to start rising again until 2004
(3.9%). After several years of steady decrease (2008: 2.6%),
it rose again to 3.9% in 2010. In 2013 it reached 3.2%. Different segments of the population are affected to varying degrees.
Unemployment figures are comparatively high among unskilled
workers, foreign aliens (who display on average a comparatively
low level of qualification) and in French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland. In recent years, we have seen higher than average levels
of unemployment among the 1524 age group.

16,277 was almost four times that of the lowest income quintile
(CHF4201).
