Sammanfattning

There is a reeason why Roma people in Romania and Bulgaria travel to other parts of Europe for their living. At home they are still deprived of their basic human rights. Social indicators show that they are far behind the majority population in terms of education, employment, housing and health standards. Most of them live in deep misery and their average life length is considerably shorter than for others. There are several reasons for all this but the main cause is the structural discrimination based on anti-Gypsyism, the wide-spread contempt and negative prejudices which still fall upon this ethnic minority, the largest one in Europe.
