Answer

What does emigration mean for the social life of Mallorca?

When more residents leave, the island can lose people who keep neighbourhoods, shops and services going. Families, skilled workers and long-term locals are part of the social fabric, so their departure changes the balance of everyday life. Over time, that can make communities feel less stable and less local.
