Swiss to vote on limiting population to 10 million residents

Switzerland will hold a referendum on capping the country's population at 10 million people, as concerns grow over immigration and population density. Foreigners comprised approximately 27.4 percent of Switzerland's residents by the end of 2024. The proposed constitutional amendment reflects ongoing debates in the Alpine nation about immigration policy and sustainable population growth, with supporters arguing that limiting population growth is necessary to preserve the country's quality of life and infrastructure capacity.
