Switzerland is an outlier in many aspects for Western Europe :)
And not only in terms of earning - look for example at benefits you get for having kids (amount of parental leave, cost of kindergarten, etc).
It’s like a weird capitalist Enklave in the middle of Europe. I’ll bet a lot of people thought of having kids in Germany or Austria and moving to Switzerland after a few years of taking advantage of generous benefits for having young kids in the former.
