Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/754b46/employee_benefits) has announced the addition of the "Employee Benefits in Switzerland" report to their offering.

The Swiss social security system comprises various forms of social insurance, which aim to protect people living and working in Switzerland, and their dependents. It is organized federally, and social security responsibilities are divided between federal and cantonal authorities. The Swiss social security system consists of five components: old-age and disability pension; protection against the consequence of illness and accidents; income compensation allowances for military, civilian or civil defense services; maternity and unemployment insurance; and family allowances.

The Swiss economy is based on a highly qualified labor force performing highly skilled work. Most of the country's residents are employed by small and medium-sized enterprises.
