Overview
- Liechtenstein's labor market is characterized by a high reliance on non-resident workers, with commuters comprising the greater share of employment, particularly in higher-skilled occupations.
- With the steady inflow of skilled labor, infrastructure constraints have come into play and productivity has stagnated over time.
- A sizeable gender pay gap exists and the labor force participation of women and older workers remains relatively low.
