Roma Access to Decent and Sustainable Employment in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain with Additional Benchmarking Evidence from Ireland
24 November 2024 English Report
Summary
Most Roma remain shut out of formal employment, and those who do work face low pay, insecure contracts, and pervasive antigypsyism — that's the core finding of ERGO Network's 2024 synthesis report, drawing on case studies from six countries. It calls for stronger active-inclusion support, enforced job-quality standards, and investment in Roma social entrepreneurship.
