## Description

Dal 1900 (3.3 milioni) la popolazione della Svizzera è quasi triplicata. Alla fine del 2025 la popolazione residente permanente ammontava a 9'127'100 persone, con un tasso di crescita dello 0.8% rispetto all’anno precedente. L’incremento ha raggiunto il suo picco tra il 1961 e il 1963, con tassi di crescita annuali medi del 2.4%. Dal 2007, la crescita media è superiore all’1%. Nel 2014 si è registrata una crescita demografica dell’1.2%, il che rende la Svizzera uno dei Paesi più dinamici d’Europa in termini di crescita demografica. Si sono verificati cali demografici solo nel 1918, a seguito dell’influenza spagnola, e negli anni della recessione economica 1975-1977.

## Links

Replace `{u}` with the `u` value of a variant above, or leave out `u={u}` for the default variant. The map opens at its full extent; a link cannot set the map position.

- Map: https://atlasderschweiz.ch/it/tema/sviluppo-della-popolazione-censimenti-18502000/?u={u}
- Short link, stays valid when the title changes: https://atlasderschweiz.ch/it/t/862/?u={u}
- Side by side with another map: https://atlasderschweiz.ch/it/confronto/?lt=862&lu={u}&rt={id of the other map}&ru={u of the other map, or leave out}

Embed in another website (allowed by the terms of use, as long as the source references stay visible):

```html
<iframe src="https://atlasderschweiz.ch/it/embed/?id=862&u={u}&dm=e&ig=1" style="border:0;width:100%;height:600px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" title="Tema 'Sviluppo della popolazione: storico' nell'Atlante della Svizzera" allowfullscreen sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" allow="geolocation" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe>
```

In the embed URL, `dm` sets what is shown: `e` the map with its title bar (default), `p` also the values of an object clicked on the map, `m` only the map with a button that opens it in the atlas. `ig=1` (default) lets the map react to scrolling and dragging only after a click into it, `ig=0` right away. The size can be changed in `style`.
