More people living alone in the Balearic Islands: why we must rethink now

Answer

What concrete steps are suggested to address loneliness and overburdened services for singles in Mallorca?

Authorities should sharpen data with age, spatial distribution, and employment details to move beyond projections. Build flexible, small flats with shared spaces and communal facilities to keep costs reasonable. Regulate short-term rentals and offer incentives to open properties for long-term tenants, supported by municipal mediation. Strengthen neighbourhood networks and test pilot areas to learn what works in real communities.
