.5 generation

(名詞) 零點五世代:美國 65 歲以上的外來移民。

這名詞係創造來與被稱為 1.5 generation (1.5 世代) 的較年輕移民有所區別。

引句:
Sociologists call Mr. Singh and his cohort the “.5 generation,” distinct from the “1.5 generation”—younger transplants who became bicultural through school and work. Immigrant elders leave a familiar home, some without electricity or running water, for a multigenerational home in communities like Fremont that demographers call ethnoburbs.
—Patricia Leigh Brown, " Invisible Immigrants, Old and Left With ‘Nobody to Talk To’," New York Times, August 31, 2009
