Yes. I believe that property taxes also exist on most European countries.
In these Kantons in Switzerland, residents need to report yearly the total value of assets at 31 Dec from the previous year.
Wealth tax is a common topic every now and then, but somehow it ends up being dismissed quite quickly. I thought this post about how wealth tax works in Switzerland could be interesting.
We might see more of this in Europe in the near future.
I found this in the newsletter from Our World in Data and thought it was interesting to share here.
The researchers are from the University of San Diego. I shared the link above to the authors’ website because the university website is not opening for me.
The final version should be here, according to the newsletter and Google: https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~pniehaus/papers/how_poverty_fell.pdf
Honestly, the village is everything that was listed here. Including the workplace finding a way to be child friendly. Even a restaurant.
It is currently too hard to have kids, and you can see that less people are doing it because everyone is so insensitive to it.
