Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the selfidentification of immigrant children with Catalonia and Other Territories (non Spanish). The generational cohort has been used as a classification variable, in order to identify different migratory experiences (i.e. the arrival age or the fact that both or only one of the parents might have been born abroad). Data have been extracted from a sample of 550 secondary school students (from 13 to 16 years old) in Catalonia. Results show that self-identifications differ when taking generational cohorts into consideration. Especially in the case of those that were born in Catalonia or the rest of Spain. On the other hand, there aren't significant differences in the case of cohorts that were born abroad.
