Answer

How do foreign families affect Mallorca’s child population?

In some age groups, children with foreign nationality are increasing in Mallorca even while the overall number of children falls. That suggests different migration patterns: some families move to the island with children, while others arrive childless or stay only part of the year. It also means the island’s family picture is more mixed than the total numbers suggest.
