In the early 19th to 20th century, approximately 150,000 children in Switzerland became such rented children, with 60,000 of them working hard for farmers in 1930 alone. This was also a consequence of the social structure at that time when Switzerland was primarily agricultural and farmers lacked labor, leading to poor children from young families becoming free labor for farmers. Today, there are still about 10,000 former rented children living in Switzerland.For over a century, Switzerland has never confronted this historical "stain." Now, this film has drawn societal attention, prompting a corresponding response from the Swiss government. Federal Justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga has watched the film and expressed her happiness that this issue is now receiving social focus.She stated that the federal government will hold a commemorative event in 2012 for the rented children of that time, aimed at spiritual compensation rather than financial compensation.These rented children made tremendous contributions to Switzerland's agricultural economy; however, they have never received a penny. The Swiss government has also never compensated them, and even hesitates to calculate the costs, as the figures would be staggering.The newspaper "Sonntagsblick," in collaboration with an economist from a major bank, calculated that the value of the unpaid labor provided by these children to Switzerland's agricultural economy amounts to between 20 to 65 billion Swiss francs.
