Swiss Population Cap Study Shows 12% GDP Hit by End of Century

A Swiss population cap of 10 million risks curbing economic output by as much as 12% through the end of the century, according to a government-commissioned study.

The report by Switzerland’s Demografik think tank showed that in a scenario without such a limit, envisaging natural demographic expansion to a total of more than 11 million on that timeline, gross domestic product would be noticeably higher.
