Europe remains the “second home” of the Swiss abroad<\/h1>\n

At the end of 2020, more than one in ten Swiss citizens lived abroad, particularly in France, with an increase in women and the over-65s<\/em><\/h3>\n

At the end of 2020, more than one in ten Swiss citizens lived abroad. Just under two-thirds were based in Europe, particularly France.
\nTheir number increased by 0.7 percent compared to 2019. The progression of people aged 65 and over is much sharper (+2.8 percent).
\nOverall, according to the results of the statistics of the Swiss abroad carried out by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the proportion of women continues to be higher than that of men.
\nIn 2020, 776,300 Swiss nationals were registered at the relevant diplomatic representations abroad, which is 0.7 percent more than in 2019.
\nHowever, this increase is less significant than those recorded in 2019 and 2018 (+1.4 and +1.1 percent, respectively).<\/p>\n
