The bar chart illustrates Switzerland statistics according to United Nations data about birth and death rates between 1970 and 2020.
Overall, the birth rate shows a consistent upward trend while death rate shows fluctuations, culminating in a notable decline by the end of the period.
At first glance, between 1970 and 1980 the birth rate remained stable at around 1.2 million, however, the death rate experienced a significant growth of 30%. In 2000, despite the birth rate remaining unchanged, it surged to 1.7 million. In addition, the death rate followed a similar trend, showing a dramatic increase to 1.5 million.
Looking more closely at the data, in 2000, the birth rate rocketed to 2.6 million while the death rate experienced the opposite trend, a sharp decline for 1.1 million. Having increased year by year, the birth rate then rose sharply to 3 million in 2010. In contrast, the death rate declined by 100 thousand. At the end, in 2020, the decline was 100 thousand for the death rate, when the birth rate peaked at 3.2 million.
