Answer

Why are there fewer toddlers and preschool children in Mallorca than before?

The strongest drop in Mallorca appears among the youngest children, especially those under five. That usually reflects fewer births over several years, along with the pressure young parents face from housing, work and living costs. The change is visible in everyday life, but it is also confirmed by population data.
