The plural of the word Secondos is a mixture of the Italian singular secondo and the Spanish plural ending -s. This term is mostly used for the children of Italian and Spanish immigrants who migrated to Switzerland in the 1960s and 70s.
The Italian community has coined the culture of Switzerland substantially and has become a big part of the country's economy and society.
[3] Swiss companies were lacking employees and started to recruit people from countries surrounding Switzerland.
The idea of this sort of employment was that guest workers were supposed to return to their country of origin after a certain period of time.
[1] Critics say that the term excludes the persons concerned and forces their parents' migration history on them.
