Why
The proposal, driven by concern about immigration, pressure on public services and housing, would mandate that the population must not exceed 10 million by 2050.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
If adopted, the population cap could trigger a process for Switzerland to scrap its free movement of labour agreement with the EU, affecting its economy which relies on EU workers and potentially jeopardizing bilateral trade agreements. This would complicate corporate planning for Switzerland's export-oriented economy.
