A citizen or resident of the '''First Generation''' is one who has [[immigrant]] parents, and was thus the first to be born inside the country of emigration.


'''First generation''', '''Generation I''', or variants of this, may refer to:
For instance, the daughter of a European immigrant will be a "first generation" American, while her children will be "second generation" etc. However, in [[Asia]]n communities, ''First generation'' typically refers to the immigrants themselves, while ''second generation'' refers to those first to be born abroad.
