This comprehensive study on the situation of the Roma minority in five Central and Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovak Republic) is based on comparable socioeconomic data from a cross-country survey of 5,034 Roma respondents. It addresses such questions as:
• Why has the situation of Roma in Central and Eastern Europe not improved in the last decade?
• What is the status of Roma in the region from a human development perspective? What are the actual levels of unemployment, depth of poverty, magnitude of segregation in education?
• Are Roma actually willing to integrate in their home societies or do they prefer to stay isolated in their cultural uniqueness?
• What needs to be done to improve development opportunities of the Roma in a sustainable way?
