Abstract
This publication brings together
original sociological research, evaluations of programs, and
the first comparative cross-country household survey on
ethnicity and poverty. It finds that Roma poverty is
multi-faceted and can only be addressed by a comprehensive
policy approach that attends to all dimensions of Roma
social exclusion. It proposes an inclusive policy approach
which would expand and promote Roma involvement and
participation in mainstream society, while maintaining
cultural and social identity and autonomy. Policy mechanisms
include those which make existing policies more accessible
to Roma and identifying areas where targeted initiatives are needed.
