Vital Statistics 2022: Contrasting trends in births, deaths, marriages and divorces in 2022
Neuchâtel, 22.06.2023 - 2022 was characterised by a rise in deaths and a fall in live births. Natural growth, i.e., the difference between births and deaths, was even lower than that recorded in 2020, a year marked by the pandemic. In addition, the number of marriages increased. This increase was not only due to same-sex couples now being able to marry, but also to a generally greater tendency to unite. The number of divorces fell. These are some of the annual definitive findings of the Vital Statistics for 2022 from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
This press release and further information on the topic can be found on the FSO website (see link below).
