Note: The country of origin is the country of birth of the immigrant parent, if there is only one parent who is an immigrant. If both parents are immigrants, the father’s origin is retained by convention. The United Kingdom left the European Union in 2020, and is since counted among the category "Other European countries".
An immigrant descendant (second generation) is a person born in France, who has at least one parent who is an immigrant.
Coverage: France (excluding Mayotte); descendants of immigrants living in ordinary households.
