Switzerland to cap the population at 10 million

 The proposal to be voted on in June 2026 caps Switzerland's permanent resident population at 10 million by 2050.  Triggers government intervention when the population reaches 9.5 million. Switzerland's population currently stands at around 9 million. The country has grown about 5 times faster than the EU average, 40% of the population has a migrant background, and 31% are foreign residents. There is also differential reproduction: 1.33 children born/Swiss woman vs 1.86 children born/non-Swiss woman.

It is one of the richest countries in the world, and they do not like foreigners. Japan has reached a similar undeclared decision to limit its population. They don't feel the need to grow; they are sure they can survive and defend themselves, despite being few in number.

 It is very different in Israel.
