In the early 19th to 20th century, approximately 150,000 children in Switzerland became such rented children, with 60,000 of them working as laborers in farmers’ homes in just 1930. This was a consequence of the social structure; at that time, Switzerland was predominantly agricultural, and farmers lacked labor, so young children from poor families became free labor for them. Today, there are still about 10,000 former rented children living in Switzerland. For over a century, Switzerland has never faced this historical "stain." Now, this film has attracted social attention, and the Swiss government has responded accordingly. Federal Justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga watched the film and expressed her satisfaction that this issue is now garnering societal attention. She stated that the federal government will hold a commemorative event in 2012 for the rented children of that era, with the aim of spiritual compensation rather than economic compensation. These rented children made significant contributions to Switzerland’s agricultural economy, yet they never received a single penny. The Swiss government has also never provided them with any compensation, even fearing to calculate this cost, as the numbers would be staggering. The newspaper "SonntagsBlick" calculated together with an economic expert from a major bank that the unpaid labor provided by these children to the Swiss agricultural economy could be valued at 20 to 65 billion Swiss francs.
