Answer

What can Mallorca do to keep young people from leaving?

The most effective response combines housing policy, stronger local jobs, support for training and better public services. Affordable rentals, more control of short-term lets and better career paths on the island can make staying more realistic. Young people also need a real say in local decisions if trust is going to improve.
