Only 8% of young people between 16 and 29 years old in the Balearic Islands had been able to emancipate themselves during the second semester of 2025. The figure represents less than half that of the same period the previous year and places the youth emancipation rate of the Islands below the state average of 14.5%. This is according to the Emancipation Observatory corresponding to the second half of 2025, presented this Wednesday by Lucía Siles, representative of the Youth Council of Spain (CJE), and Pau Emili Muñoz, president of the Youth Council of the Balearic Islands (CJIB).
