Answer 1

I think you got that a bit wrong.

Switzerland is very densely populated compared to most other countries and is growing every year due to tens of thousands of immigrants from other European countries.

But it also turns out both Switzerland and Norway aren’t so much heaven if you are a recent immigrant. You can easily move there if you are from Europe and have a job offer. And plenty people do that – especially to Switzerland from neighboring countries. But both countries have few low skilled jobs available, so it’s mostly qualified workers whose jobs are in demand
