A political initiative backed by the Swiss People’s Party proposes capping the population at 10 million by 2050, potentially forcing limits on immigration and even challenging Switzerland’s agreements with the European Union. While many European countries struggle with population decline, Switzerland faces rapid growth driven largely by immigration. Supporters argue the country is becoming overcrowded, with pressure on housing, infrastructure, and the environment. Critics warn that limiting growth could damage the economy, which depends heavily on foreign workers. Thanks to Switzerland’s system of direct democracy, this decision will go straight to a nationwide referendum in 2026. The outcome could reshape the country’s demographic and economic future for decades.
