To enable a greater understanding of acculturation of people within the USA, we ask respondents a set of questions relating to where they and their parents were born. This is then used to place them into immigrant generation segments:
Definition | Criteria required (all must apply) |
First Generation | ● Born outside of the USA |
Second Generation | ● Born in the USA ● At least one parent migrated to the USA |
Third Generation or Higher | ● Born in the USA ● Both parents born in the USA |
Prefer not to say | ● Selected “Prefer not to say” in either or both questions |
