=== Growth rate ===
During the 19th and 20th centuries, [[population growth rate]] has been at 0.7% to 0.8%, with a [[doubling time]] of ca. 90 years. In the later 20th century, the growth rate has fallen below 0.7% (1980s: 0.64%; 1990s: 0.65%), and in the 2000s it has risen again slightly (2000&ndash;2006: 0.69%), mostly due to immigration. In 2007 the population grew at a much higher 1.1% rate, again mostly due to immigration. For 2008, the population grew 1.6%, a level not seen since the early 1960s.<ref>{{cite press release

As population growth slows, the percentage of elderly people increases. In July 2015{{Fix|text=out of date}}, the Swiss Federal Office of Statistics published projections indicating that by 2045, the proportion of residents over the retirement age of 65 would climb to 48.1 per 100 residents between 20 and 64 years old, and possibly as high as 50.0 in the highest case scenario. In 2015 that ratio was only 29.1 per 100 residents.<ref name="Scenario" />
