The proposal has alarmed executives in Switzerland's blue-chip firms, who say reliable access to international talent is critical for businesses and that the cap could lead to a rupture with the European Union.
The population cap could curb output by as much as 12% through the end of the century, with labor shortages particularly hitting industries such as healthcare, hospitality, IT, and construction.
