- Transport
- Regional public transport is strong but not universally free.
- Water / Energy
- Reliable public utilities and support earn partial credit, while normal utility bills remain.

Capacity: Forests cover about 43% of territory, provide natural-hazard protection and are managed through near-natural forestry.
High fiscal capacity and environmental governance support resilience, although the small territory depends heavily on neighboring systems.

Capacity: Liechtenstein has extensive forest and productive agricultural space, but total land is geographically limited and ownership or lease governs access.
Property rights are secure and land is well serviced, but scarce territory and high prices make land access strongly market-gated.

Friction: Recorded violent offences increased to a 2023–2025 three-year average of 678 per 100,000 versus 445 in 2009–2011.
Reach: Published public statistics allow residents to examine recorded violence, but do not measure equal practical access to remedies for all families.
Capacity: The police/statistical system reports violent offences and maintains longitudinal public indicators.
Rule-of-law and administrative capacity are very strong; migration and residence rules are orderly but selective.

Capacity: National public services, paid work and modern household capability coexist; 20,999 residents worked in 2025.
Very high incomes, strong institutions and short travel distances reduce everyday time burdens, although paid work and cross-border commuting remain central to ordinary life.

Capacity: Mandatory recognized health insurance covers healthcare access for people living or working in Liechtenstein.
High fiscal and institutional capacity supports broad health access, though aging and long-term-care costs are increasing.

Return / Multiplication: Approximately 40% of recognized farms use organic methods according to the environmental assessment, a regenerative strength but not universal free food.
Friction / Waste: Groceries are priced; the national consumer-price index tracks changes for chocolate, vegetables and meals at restaurants.
Reach: Agricultural evidence describes 95 recognized farms as of 2020; it does not establish free produce distribution to all households.
Capacity: Food production, consumer inspection and agricultural farms operate, though the country depends on market purchase and import chains for many foods.
Food insecurity is low by global standards, but normal household food is purchased and no universal zero-payment food route was verified.

Return / Continuity — family life sustained: Public allowances and free early education sustain family life, but they do not guarantee money-free household establishment.
Friction — what makes family life difficult: Income-linked childcare fees and housing payments impose burdens; national fertility was 1.37 in 2024, below the 2.1 replacement reference.

Return / Continuity — family life sustained: Public allowances and free early education sustain family life, but they do not guarantee money-free household establishment.
Friction — what makes family life difficult: Income-linked childcare fees and housing payments impose burdens; national fertility was 1.37 in 2024, below the 2.1 replacement reference.
Reach — actual family & child access: Family allowances include children, birth and single-parent allowances; some maternity support has income or residence conditions.
Capacity — family establishment & care: Child, birth and single-parent allowances plus income-tested maternity support provide practical family-establishment capability.

Return / Multiplication: Approximately 40% of recognized farms use organic methods according to the environmental assessment, a regenerative strength but not universal free food.
Friction / Waste: Groceries are priced; the national consumer-price index tracks changes for chocolate, vegetables and meals at restaurants.
Reach: Agricultural evidence describes 95 recognized farms as of 2020; it does not establish free produce distribution to all households.
Capacity: Food production, consumer inspection and agricultural farms operate, though the country depends on market purchase and import chains for many foods.

Friction: 57% of jobs in Liechtenstein are held by cross-border commuters; this is workforce evidence, not a measured household time-return rate.
Reach: Subsidized work-related childcare helps some families, but low-income parents still pay a CHF 150 monthly minimum contribution in the published schedule.

Return / Time: Established bus service and compact commuting geography offer travel choices, but no fully free family transport network is evidenced.
Friction: Normal short-distance bus tickets start at CHF 2 and one-zone adult singles at CHF 3; paid mobility persists.
Reach: Children under six and some accompanied children can travel free; ordinary adults buy tickets.
Capacity: The LIEmobil network offers local public bus routes and cross-border links; 2025 employment data confirms substantial movement across borders.

Friction / Loss: The official ecological study identifies nutrient, pesticide, mowing and invasive-species pressures on habitats.
Reach / Ecological Function: The environmental analysis notes biodiversity areas covering around 17% of cultivated land, but ecological reach is uneven.
Capacity: Forests cover about 43% of territory, provide natural-hazard protection and are managed through near-natural forestry.
High fiscal capacity and environmental governance support resilience, although the small territory depends heavily on neighboring systems.

Capacity: Liechtenstein has extensive forest and productive agricultural space, but total land is geographically limited and ownership or lease governs access.
Property rights are secure and land is well serviced, but scarce territory and high prices make land access strongly market-gated.

Friction: Recorded violent offences increased to a 2023–2025 three-year average of 678 per 100,000 versus 445 in 2009–2011.
Reach: Published public statistics allow residents to examine recorded violence, but do not measure equal practical access to remedies for all families.
Capacity: The police/statistical system reports violent offences and maintains longitudinal public indicators.
Rule-of-law and administrative capacity are very strong; migration and residence rules are orderly but selective.

Capacity: National public services, paid work and modern household capability coexist; 20,999 residents worked in 2025.
Very high incomes, strong institutions and short travel distances reduce everyday time burdens, although paid work and cross-border commuting remain central to ordinary life.

Capacity: Food production, consumer inspection and agricultural farms operate, though the country depends on market purchase and import chains for many foods.
Food insecurity is low by global standards, but normal household food is purchased and no universal zero-payment food route was verified.

The dual vocational and education system is a major national strength and supports effective school-to-work transitions.

2026-10-23 LIE: 16-category / 64-beleshky evidence-led authored numerical reassessment. Source-specific official factual findings distinguish free and paid services, native ecological benefit and barriers. Previous rank #6, published headline -48.7 (pre-install context).

Return / Circularity: The 2024 separately collected municipal waste share was 65.7%, including material and compostable flows, not proof of zero waste.
Friction / Waste: Municipal waste reached 837 kg per resident in 2024; recovery does not eliminate waste production and paid product turnover.
Reach: In 2024, 25,117 tonnes of municipal waste were separately collected for recovery; the separately collected share is not itself repair access.
Capacity: Separate municipal material and compostable-waste collection is established; the statistics system tracks major streams.
Infrastructure and public finances provide strong maintenance capacity, with transport and demographic pressures requiring continued investment.
