Switzerland is set to vote on a referendum that could implement the world's first national population cap, potentially limiting the population to 10 million by 2050. Major companies like Roche and Nestlé, along with the Swiss business federation economiesuisse, fear this initiative will severely restrict access to international talent, thereby hindering economic growth and innovation. The proposal, supported by the Swiss People's Party, aims to limit immigration and population growth, but critics argue it would damage Switzerland's competitiveness and its ability to attract highly qualified foreign workers essential for research-intensive industries.
