The bar graph illustrates the fertility and mortality rates of Switzerland, starting in 1975 and predicting figures for 2025, as per data provided by the United Nations. The data is calibrated in millions.
Overall, it can be clearly observed that birth rates are increasing significantly throughout the given period. Noticeably, the death rates observe fluctuations and may see a gradual fall in the coming decades.
A detailed analysis of the data reveals that, in the initial year, more than a million Swiss people were born, and exactly 1 million people died in Switzerland. In the year 1985, the death numbers exceeded about 0.1 million compared to the birth rate, which accounted for 1.2 million and 1.3 million, respectively. 1.7 million were recorded for infants born in Switzerland, and the death toll increased by approximately 0.2 million compared to the figures of 1985, registering 1.5 million.
Further analysis depicts that, in 2005, the birth rate skyrocketed and crossed the mark of 2.5 million, whereas the death rate was reduced and remained at 1.1 million. In 2015, the fertility rate of Switzerland was nearly 3 million, and 0.1 million was reduced in the death figures, registering 1 million. Future data for 2025 predicts that the birth rate will cross the mark of 3 million; however, the death figure reaches the lowest level compared to the previous years.
