In 1800, the region of present-day Switzerland had a population of approximately 1.8 million people. This figure would grow steadily throughout the 19th century, as political and religious grievances gave way to a united federation, whose economic policies saw Switzerland emerge as one of Europe's most prosperous and stable countries. Growth boomed between 1890 and 1910, as industrialization would see significant economic growth and migration to the country. While Switzerland’s neutrality in both World Wars would prevent the mass fatalities experienced across the rest of Europe during the early 20th century, Switzerland’s population would nevertheless stagnate in both the First and Second World War and in the Great Depression in the 1930s, as the economic turmoil and conflict abroad would halt the migration that had previously driven population growth.

Following the end of the Second World War, growth would resume and would rise steadily until the late 1970s, before an economic recession saw the population fall again as workers migrated in search of employment elsewhere. However, population growth has steadily risen since the 1980s, reaching seven million in the mid-1990s and eight million in 2012. Today, with a population of 8.7 million, Switzerland is ranked among the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world, with very high standards of living.

The statistic shows the total population of Switzerland from 2019 to 2023, with projections up until 2029. In 2023, the total population of Switzerland amounted to around 8.82 million people. See the figures for the population of Italy for comparison. Economy of Switzerland Switzerland maintains one of the most stable economies and has been revered as the most secure banking and investment safe haven in the world. The country is viewed as not only one of the most economically advanced countries, but also one of the most politically respected countries, primarily due to having exceptionally good relations with the majority of countries around the world. Despite being affected by recessions in the early and late 2000s, Switzerland sustained a sufficient economy through competent leadership, most notably when considering the amount of money the government spent in comparison to the amount of revenues earned from goods and services. Many countries around the world suffered economically due to overspending, which often indirectly led to higher unemployment rates. However, Switzerland sustained a relatively balanced and low unemployment rate through the years through adequate government spending as well as a high percentage of skilled workers occupying the country’s workforce. A strong economy, beautiful nature and overall distinctive cultures have made Switzerland one of the most visited tourist countries in the world. Additionally, Switzerland is also a relatively popular country to visit for business meetings due to its centralized location and well renowned reputation.

The world population data sourced from Facebook Data for Good is some of the most accurate population density data in the world. The data is accumulated using highly accurate technology to identify buildings from satellite imagery and can be viewed at up to 30-meter resolution. This building data is combined with publicly available census data to create the most accurate population estimates. This data is used by a wide range of nonprofit and humanitarian organizations, for example, to examine trends in urbanization and climate migration or discover the impact of a natural disaster on a region. This can help to inform aid distribution to reach communities most in need. There is both country and region-specific data available. The data also includes demographic estimates in addition to the population density information. This population data can be accessed via the Humanitarian Data Exchange website.

This statistic shows the growth of Switzerland's population from 2013 to 2023, in comparison to the previous year. In 2023, Switzerland's population grew by approximately 1.26 percent compared to the previous year. See Switzerland's population figures for comparison. The Swiss population The Swiss population has been growing at a steady rate for the past few years; in general the country has experienced around a one percent population growth rate since the 1970s. Between 2004 and 2007, population growth was slightly below one percent, but has rebounded since then. This growth is supported by immigration, as the fertility rate is well below the replacement rate. The country’s strong and stable economy and the free movement of people within the European Union has helped attract foreigners. In 2015, the population of Switzerland was around 8.25 million and its foreign-born population amounted to 2.26 million people that same year, meaning that around 1 out of every four people in Switzerland are of foreign origin. But even if you are born in Switzerland, you are not automatically granted Swiss nationality, and many people who are of “foreign” origin were actually born in Switzerland but keep the nationality of their parents or do not go through what can be a lengthy process to obtain Swiss nationality. Another characteristic of the Swiss population is that Swiss people are getting older. Due to its high standard of living, Switzerland has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, and the median age of the population is now estimated at 42.3 years.
