Housing Dream Out of Reach: Why Young People in the Balearic Islands Hardly Move Out

Answer

Why is it harder for young people in Palma than in smaller towns in Mallorca?

Palma usually shows the housing pressure more clearly because demand is higher and the rental market is tighter. In smaller towns and villages, the situation can be different, but opportunities still depend on local jobs, transport, and housing supply. For young people, where they live can make a big difference to whether moving out is realistic.
