Germany vs. Switzerland.

Switzerland is arguably a better country in terms of many


aspects as compared to Germany. Although they have subtle
ties which represent them as well recognized countries in
terms of life standards, there are solid reasons which set them
apart from one another. They can be classified based on
standard of lifestyle, prosperous opportunities for people, and
legislative financial charters.

First, Swiss salaries are highest in all of Europe. They offer


much more minimum wage to workers, as of 55 €, in contrast
to 36 € in Germany. Not only this, but Swiss taxes are also the
lowest in Europe, 11%, as of 35% minimum of Germany. Higher
paychecks and low taxes not only encourage skilled national
workers, but also entice skilled international workers up to
such an extent that despite of difficult immigration policies,
the nation’s population consists of one fourth immigrants. In
addition to this, Germany has more poor people as compared
to Switzerland. Germany’s poor people consist of 16% in
comparison to 1% of Switzerland.

The Swiss lifestyle is considered one of the best in comparison


to not only Germany, but the whole world. Swiss cities are in
close proximities to lakes, mountains, forests and scenic hiking
spots. While in Germany, life is usually boring and different.
Not only this, but Swiss people are also active and sportive.
Most of them are either skilled about skiing, hiking, or even
both. Whereas in Germany, life is subject oriented.
Based on quality of lifestyle, legislations and financial
structures organized within the country, Switzerland is a better
country to live as compared to Germany, even though there
might be some cons, pros outnumber them and make it a
place worth living.
