Natural increase in the population was the predominant factor driving population growth at the start of the 20th century. Immigration steadily increased in the second half of the 20th century. In the 1950s and 1960s, roughly half of all population growth was due to migration surpluses. Since 1986, net migration has replaced natural increase as the main factor (apart from a few years where the opposite held true, the latest period being 1996–1998). The migration surplus in 2010 was responsible for 78,5% of Swiss population growth.
