The number of young people registered in the Balearic Islands but residing abroad has steadily increased in recent years. According to data included in the 2025 Balearic Islands Youth Yearbook, this year there were 13,330 young people between the ages of 15 and 34 registered in the Balearic Islands but living elsewhere, a figure that almost triples the number recorded in 2009, when there were 3,409 (+291%). The increase is also very significant when compared to 2015, when 6,425 young people were in this situation. The sustained growth of this indicator points to a possible exodus of educated young people abroad, in a context that, paradoxically, shows a recovery in the demographic weight of the young population in the Islands. In fact, the Yearbook confirms that the young population is growing again after years of a downward trend. Young people up to 34 years old currently represent 24% of the total population. For the first time, municipalities like Palma and Manacor have exceeded 20% young population, while no municipality now has less than 12%, demonstrating a more homogeneous territorial distribution of young people.
