Decline in the birth rate in Switzerland

10.11.2025 - In 2024, the average number of children per woman in Switzerland was 1.29, the lowest since records began. In recent years, births of third children in particular have declined. Fewer people want children, although the two-child family model remains the ideal for many young adults. These are some of the findings from a Federal Statistical Office (FSO) publication.

You can find further information such as tables and graphs in the press releases in German, French and Italian. The English version only contains the lead of the press release.
