some one who can help me??

kann das mal einer übersetzen? eine Antwort würde ich auf englisch vermutlich hinbekommen, aber ich verstehe nicht, was er genau wissen möchte?!

sorry, I don't understand exactly what you mean ...

what does Schweiz makes to eliminate sweatshops
What do you mean with sweatshops?

what does to help children during conflicts...
Which kind of conflicts?

bin ich also nicht der einzige der etwas Mühe hatte^^ naja mein englisch ist schon nicht das beste...

Wikipedia:

"Sweatshop is a pejorative term used to describe a manufacturing facility where working conditions fall short of contemporary human-rights standards."

But I don't understand the second question either [;)]

is just like when a country has a conflict, what does schweiz to help them...like in the earthquake of Peru, or in Rwanda, any country that has problems :P

sweatshops are works with bad conditions, low salary, etc...

ich möchte wissen, was schweiz tut, um kinder in anderen Ländern zu helfen und was tut, um schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen (Fabriken mit schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen) zu beseitigen.

ich benutzte einen Übersetzer bin so möglicherweise nicht sehr nettes:P

switzerland is a small country but with a great humanity history. we are home to lots of human right organisations but, i don't know much about "direct" help.

i heard that 0.4% of our BSP is invested in development assistance, the target, set by the european union is 0.7%...

i think you can inform you quite well about switzerland and it's humanity tradion with keywords like geneva human rights convention. additionally, switzerland shelters one of the headquarters of the united nations.

i hope i was a little help to you, but i'm sorry, but this topic is not well discussed nor in everybody's mind.

by the way, your translator is quite good

already read about that :) its nice to see a small country to do a lot of things for other countries, also wanna ask why Schweiz dont want to get in the UE (European Union),
how does it looks from the inside (Schweiz of coures :D)...thanks is babel fish

we had already 2 (am i right?) votes about that and i think in both the decision was like 51% against 49 or something.

there are some advantages and disadvantages

+ liberty for our export industry
+ easier to work abroad
+ less problems with immigration from foreign people outside of the EU
+ right to say in matter

- migration from EU (ok switzerland needs foreign workers)
- costs for the cohesiveness
- structural problem (tax laws / agricultural aid payments / banking confidentiality)
- high pressure to issue the euro as currency

so it's quite a hard decision, at the moment i would prefer not to join the EU. especially if you talk to germans, they would like to have us, but their advice (from people like you and i) is to let it be as supplied before.
our system is very well working and most of the resident are satisfied.

if somebody disagrees, i would be pleased to have a political discussion ;-)

i also think that this way u r more independent, but u still have some bilateral relation with EU so is not that necesary..

another question, how old ar u?? maybe u know something about the relationship between corporations or bussines and the employees (how is it, what conditions they have, ar the human rights fully respected, is the people happy with the treat of the owner, the salary is enough to covered ur necesitys??) this is about what i asked before about the sweatshops :P


ich auch denke, daß auf diese Weise u r unabhängiger, aber u noch etwas bilaterale Relation mit EU haben, also bin nicht dieses necesary.. eine andere Frage, wie altes ar u?? möglicherweise wissen u etwas über das Verhältnis zwischen Korporationen oder bussines und die Angestellten (wie es ist, welche Bedingungen sie hat, ist ar die menschlichen Rechte, die völlig respektiert werden, die Leute, die mit der Festlichkeit des Inhabers, das Gehalt glücklich sind, ist genug zu umfaßten ur necesitys??) dieses ist über, was ich vor ungefähr den Fabriken mit schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen:P fragte

About sweatshops: I think here in Switzerland we have pretty strict regularities which makes it very hard to work as a sweatshops ...

I don't know much about these regularities, but we for example minimum wages or minimum standard of insurance or things like this ...

Sweatshops probably exists in a business where it's "easier" to hire illegal workers, for example in the construction work ...



About the help: Switzerland's sending different things like medicine, equipment, food in these areas ...
I think we also send some "special forces" to rebuild or to help the population rebuilding whatever is needed ...

i think the swiss model about work condition is one of the best in the world.

we have certain minimal salaries for each job and efficient retirement arrangement. additionally, we have contracts between the unions and the employers about the working condition.

a regular workweek is about 42 hours, and you'll get at least 2400 US$. You are insured against accidents at work and at home (at home mostly paid 50/50 between employee and employer).
our retirement arrangement is based on 3 pillars. 2 are compulsory, one voluntary but the premiums for the third pillar are entirely tax freed.

the usual tax burden is about 1.5 month salaries for an average person. best thing: it's progressiv to your income. the higher your salary the higher the percentage of paid tax...

ah i'm 20 years old and work as tax accountant, division expatriats
