The Swiss Cities and Towns Social Policy Group initiative represents the social policy interests of around 60 Swiss cities from all regions. It advocates a coherent system of social security and good cooperation between cities, the federal government and the cantons. The Social Policy Group is part of the Swiss Association of Cities.
