On June 14, Swiss voters will decide whether to approve or reject the so-called “Sustainability Initiative”, also known as the “10 million Switzerland Initiative”, which seeks to cap the country’s population at 10 million by 2050. Switzerland currently has more than nine million inhabitants in steady growth.
If approved, the proposal would require the federal government to introduce restrictive measures on immigration once the population exceeds 9.5 million to prevent it from surpassing the 10 million threshold. Among the measures envisaged is the possible termination of Switzerland’s agreement with the EU on the free movement of persons.
