- mschuster91 5y ago"first/second generation migrant" is a widely used term in sociology and economy to detect and track differences between native and immigrant population. The term is common both in the US [1] and EU [2], with the latter actually going up to "third-generation migrant" when talking about long-term effects; the Swiss passed a special law to ease citizenship requirements for third-generation migrants.
