Swiss Population Cap Could Reduce GDP by 12% by 2100

Switzerland's proposed population ceiling of 10 million would constrain long-term economic expansion, according to government-backed research. The study projects gross domestic product could decline by as much as 12 percent by the end of the century under the immigration cap policy. Swiss policymakers commissioned the analysis amid debate over population management and economic implications. The findings suggest that limiting workforce growth through immigration caps would reduce consumer demand and labor supply over the extended forecast period.
