Social support: 25% of Swiss waiver on asking

In Switzerland, one in four people between those entitled to social support, resigns. This was revealed by a study of the High Bernese specialized school reported in the Rsi. The phenomenon, which also affects the Ticino, does not necessarily translate into savings for cantonal cashes.

For social assistance, in Ticino, you need to contact your place of residence. The practice, as a result, end up on the desks of Canton. The question that arises is the reason why are not required, although there is a need given the financial situation. According to the study, this attitude is the consequence of the political debate on the social aid, which tends to describe as a "black sheep" who requests them.

But this does not necessarily mean a lower cost to the community. The board of specialists like Sara Grignola, scientific officer of the Health Department and Sociability (DSS), is therefore to contact your municipality or directly to the district as soon as possible.
