 How should we refer to the children of immigrants? The traditional answer is “second-generation immigrants”, yet “first-generation locals” is far more accurate, as a new research paper co-authored by Alan Manning, one of the UK’s top economists, points out.

The key issue for first-generation locals isn’t that their parents are migrants – it’s that they are often poor.
