African immigrants to Switzerland include Swiss residents, both Swiss citizens and foreign nationals, who have migrated to Switzerland from Africa. The number has quintupled over the period of 1980 to 2007, with an average growth rate of 6% per annum (doubling time 12 years). According to official Swiss population statistics, 73,553 foreigners with African nationality lived in Switzerland as of 2009 (0.9% of total population, or 4.3% of resident foreigners).〔(Ausländerinnen und Ausländer in der Schweiz - Bericht 2008 (German) ) (1196 KiB), Swiss Federal Statistical Office, page 72. (Wohnbevölkerung nach Geschlecht und detaillierter Staatsangehörigkeit ), (Federal Statistical Office ).〕 Since the census records nationality, not ethnic origin, there is no official estimate of the number of naturalized Swiss citizens from Africa. ==Demographics== Of the 73,553 African nationals recorded in 2007, 78% were considered permanent residents in Switzerland (including recognized refugees, accounting for about 8%), while the remaining 22% were asylum seekers.〔A total of 30% had residence status N (asylum seeker) or F (refugee) as of 2007. (Federal Office of Statistics ), p. 14.〕 Permanent residents with African nationalities, organized by region of origin: The largest group of residents of North African origin are from Morocco.〔(Federal Office of Statistics )〕 The above-average increase of residents from Central Africa is due to immigration from Angola, Cameroon and Congo (Brazzaville). Unofficial estimates exist for a number of African nations. For example, an estimated 1,500 people of Cape Verdean descent lived in Switzerland as of 1995.〔( 1995 Cape Verdean Diaspora Population Estimates )〕 Zentrum für Migrationskirchen (literally: Centre for migration churches) comprises eight Protestant churches from four continents, situated in the former church hall of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Zürich in Zürich-Wipkingen, being a unique centre in Switzerland for the so-called migration churches, among them one community from Nigeria and one church from the Republic of Congo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「African immigrants to Switzerland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
