The Changing Death Rate in Switzerland from 1990 to 2022

Switzerland’s death rate has generally declined from 9.5 in 1990 to 8.5 in 2022. The early 2000s saw a gradual drop, with fluctuations around 8.0-8.2, likely due to ongoing healthcare improvements and economic stability. A slight increase occurred in 2020, reaching 8.8, attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Switzerland’s overall trend remains relatively stable, reflecting its well-established healthcare infrastructure. Despite periodic increases linked to specific health crises, the general decline in mortality reflects the country’s high standards of living, healthcare, and public health interventions.
