Switzerland will vote on a proposal to limit its population to 10 million people by 2050. The plan is supported by a right-wing party to reduce pressure on housing and services, but opposed by the government and businesses who warn it could harm the economy and Switzerland’s relationship with the European Union.
Key Facts
The Swiss People's Party is backing a plan to cap the population at 10 million.
Switzerland’s current population is about 9.1 million, with 27% being foreign residents.
Supporters say the limit will help with crowded trains, expensive housing, and overloaded public services.
Opponents call it a “chaos initiative” and say it could cause staff shortages in hospitals and hotels.
If triggered, the cap would end agreements like the EU’s free movement of people, which allows people to live and work freely between Switzerland and EU countries.
The Swiss population has grown quickly since 2002 when it was 7.3 million.
Polls show the vote could be very close, with around 52% currently against the measure and 45% in favor.
The plan would include limiting asylum grants and ending family reunification rights for foreign workers once the population nears 9.5 million.
