Births have experienced a decrease of 3.01% in the Balearic Islands between January and October 2025 compared to the same period last year. In total, in the first ten months of the year 7,318 births were registered in the archipelago, according to data released Wednesday by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
In the month of October alone, 822 babies were born in the Balearic Islands, of which 395 were girls and 428 were boys, according to official statistics. Most of the births corresponded to mothers between 30 and 34 years of age, with 258 births, followed by women between 35 and 39 years of age, with 251 births, and those between 25 and 29 years of age, with 155.
This data confirms the trend towards childbearing at increasingly older ages, a phenomenon that is repeated in Spain as a whole and which has a direct impact on the demographic evolution of the autonomous community.
In parallel, the death statistics published by the INE reveals that up to week 48 of 2025 a total of 8,266 deaths were recorded in the Balearic Islands, which represents an increase of 0.83% over the same week of the previous year. Only in the last week analyzed 191 people died in the Islands.
