Did you emigrate after retiring because you couldn’t make ends meet at home?
Each year, Swiss citizens move abroad to avoid financial hardship in Switzerland. And while the statistics don’t reveal the motivations of emigrants, it’s clear that the number of retirees leaving the country is increasing.
In March, voters will decide on two people’s initiatives aiming to reform the country’s pension system: one which wants to raise the retirement age to 66, and another which calls for 13 – rather than the current 12 – monthly pension payments.
To feed into our articles and analysis in the run-up to these votes, we’d like to hear from people who emigrated – for financial reasons – after retiring. Share your story below, or by writing directly to me: katy.romy@swissinfo.ch.
