Switzerland's working-age population remained relatively steady from 1990 to 2008, fluctuating between 67.5% and 68.2%. After 2008, the proportion began to decrease gradually due to an aging population and declining birth rates, dropping to 65.6% by 2022. This trend reflects Switzerland’s demographic shift as a higher life expectancy and lower birth rates influence the working-age share, underscoring future workforce sustainability concerns.
