The chart below gives information about birth and death rates in Switzerland from 1975 to 2025 according to United Nations statistics.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given bar chart provides a comparison of fertility and fatality rate in Switzerland and forecasts for those in 2025.
From a general perspective, there is an upward trend in the natality rate, whereas a fluctuated pattern could be observed in the opposite category over the given period.
In 1975, the nativity rate was the higher one, at around 1.25 million, while the mortality rate was the lower one with roughly 1 million.
From 1975 to 2005, there was an exponential increase in birth rate, from around 1.25 million to approximately 2.75 million, which is over double the starting number. In the next 10-year period, rising speed seems to slow down and the number is expected to end up with 3.25 million in 2025. On the other hand, the death rate observed an increase from 1975 to 1995. After reaching its peak at 1.5 million, the number of mortalities gradually decreased. The projected number in 2025 for this category is roughly 0.75 million.
