Note(s)
1. This term is not defined in legislation but has a more sociological context; a broad definition encompassing the concept of a 'second-generation migrant' has been used.
2. Strictly this term does not relate to a migrant, since the person concerned has not undertaken a migration, but the term is included as it is commonly used in publications and the media.
3. According to the Recommendations for the 2010 Censuses of Population and Housing, the group referred to as ‘second-generation’ is generally restricted to those persons whose parents were born abroad, whereas those persons having one parent born in the country and the other one born abroad represent a special case (they form the group of persons with a mixed background). As explained in 1. above, a broader definition was considered more appropriate for the work of the EMN.
