Switzerland is holding a referendum on a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million. The far-right initiative would require the government to implement restrictions on family reunification, residency permits, and asylum if the population reaches 9.5 million before 2050. The Swiss People's Party frames the plan as a sustainability measure.
Opponents warn the proposal would be economically devastating. Critics argue it would create chaos and harm Switzerland's economy by restricting migration. The ballot concludes this weekend, with Swiss voters making the final decision on whether to adopt the population limit.
