The bar chart reveals information about natality and mortality rates in Switzerland between 1970 and 2020 as reported by United Nations statistics. Most of the time, there were higher numbers of birth cases compared to the deaths during the 50 years period.
To begin with, there was a dramatic rise in birth rates compared to moderate changes in death rates throughout the time period. The report showed that there were 1.2 million newborn babies in 1970, higher than deaths at only 1 million cases. While the number of births evened out for the next 10 years, the death rate had a slight increase to 1,3 million. However, natality rates were starting to rise up to 1,7 million, surpassing the mortality rate at 1,5 million in 1990. At this point, birth rates would only continue to climb up while the death rates went down rapidly.
Moving on to the year 2000 until 2020, the amount of newborns shot up to 2,7 million and grew continuously until it peaked at 3,2 million, making it the highest birth rate in a span of 50 years. Contrastingly, there were only 1,1 million deceased people in 2000, which proceeded to decline and stopped at 800 thousand people, the lowest during the period of time.
