Given is the diagram illustrating changes in Swiss fertility and mortality rates between 1975 and 2025 by the data from United Nations.
Overall, it is apparent that birth rate had a clear upward trend, while death rate witnessed the opposite trend with mild fluctuations.
Moving to a more detailed analysis, birth rate accounted for 1.2 million in 1975 and remained at the same level over the next decade. In 1995, there was a moderate increase of 0.5 million, which was followed by a significant growth, reaching 2.7 million. Moreover, 2015 witnessed a slight rise in the fertility rate, growing from 2.7 to 3.0 million. Finally, 2025 is expected to reach a high of 3.2 million.
In terms of mortality, figures stood at 1 million at the beginning, before rising by 0.3 million in 1985. 1995 experienced another increase, hitting a peak of 1.5 million, but this upward trend was interrupted by a substantial decline as it reached 1.1 million in 2005. This was followed by a minimal decrease of 0.1 million in 2015 and figures are forecast to hit a minimum of 0.8 million over the next 10 years.
