How many Kosovars live in Switzerland

Switzerland eventually exceeds 8 million and a half million. Exactly 8,544,527 people lived in Switzerland at the end of 2018. The participation of residents with a non-Switser passport in this number has been 25.1%, higher, compared to the states surrounding Switzerland.

In Switzerland, numbering 6.3 million people, they lived in 1970, and at the end of their 2018 vote, there were more than 2 million people with foreign citizenship. These and other figures reveal publication “The population of Switzerland, 2018”, presented today by the Federal Bureau of Statistics (BFS), writes albinfo.ch.ch.

This publication also deals with foreign access, with the average age of Swiss, the age when they/they get married, life expectancy markedly increased over years and so forth.

According to the BFS, the largest percentage of foreigners in Switzerland make up Italians by 15%. Shortly after that, with 14.3% coming the Germans and third in number, with 12.3%, are Portuguese. The French make up 6.3% of foreigners in Switzerland, while Kosovars are in fifth place, or 5.2%. As before, it should be emphasised that official statistics of 5.2% have to do with Kosovo citizens -- those who have Kosovo passports.

Certainly the overwhelming majority of them are Kosovo Albanians, but there are also a small number of Kosovo citizens with ethnic Serb, Turkish, Bosnian, Roma, and so on.

On the other hand, statistics do not include the ethnic Albanian category, writes albinfo.ch. It is clear that if they were calculated by official statistics, in a single category all persons who identify themselves as Albanians, the figure would be much greater than that, and the percentage, as well.

The publication also reveals Swiss/German marriage preferences when it comes to connections with foreign citizens. 35% of marriage in Switzerland is mixed in with nationalities. In most cases, men are Swiss and women, foreigners, escorts albinfo.ch. Also, the overwhelming majority of Swiss and Swiss people choose one European husband for marriage.

After the Germans who are favourite for Swiss males, Italians and Kosovars come and, after them, French and Serbians. When we are at the Kosovars and other Balkans, a study published weeks ago, for which albinfo.ch wrote.

He found that it is not a major Swiss preference for Kosovars, but a fact that these “vice” who marry Kosovars are actually citizens of Kosovo-rooted Switzerland. The publication also deals with Swiss life expectancy.

Thus, in 2018, nearly half of them have reached the age of over 85. In 1970 it was only 15.4% of the Swiss age, and in 1940 only 6%.
