This article is intended as a starting point for studying various groups of children and adolescents who migrated with their families from the United States to Mexico,

considering sociodemographic and ethnographic aspects related to their arrival in the country. In 2010, over 570000 children born in the United States and more than 60000 Mexican child returnees were identified in Mexico, representing an unprecedented migratory flow in binational history. These children and adolescents constitute generation 0.5 and their migratory trajectories include subjective experiences that have scarcely been studied.

Keywords : generation 0.5; return migration; ethnography; demography; international migrant children.
