Ringold, DenaOrenstein, Mitchell A.Wilkens, Erika2013-08-072013-08-0720050-8213-5457-4https://hdl.handle.net/10986/14869This 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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADDICTIONCHRISTIANSCITIESCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOPING STRATEGIESCOURTESYDISCRIMINATIONEAST EUROPEANETHNIC GROUPSFAMILIESFIELD RESEARCHGYPSIESHEALTH CAREHEALTH STATUSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSILLITERACYINCOMEINFORMAL SECTORINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERVENTIONIRONISOLATIONLABOR MARKETSLESSONS LEARNEDLIVING CONDITIONSMEDIAMEDICAL SERVICESMENTALLY DISABLEDMENTALLY DISABLED CHILDRENMULTICULTURAL EDUCATIONNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNORMSPARENTSPARTNERSHIPPOLICY IMPLEMENTATIONPOLITICAL PARTICIPATIONPOPULATION GROWTHPUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGNSPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITATIVE RESEARCHQUANTITATIVE RESEARCHRACISMREALITYRELIGIONRELIGIONSSCHOOL DROPOUTSSCHOOLSSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL CONDITIONSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL PROCESSESSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL STATUSSOCIAL STRUCTURESOCIAL WELFARESOCIAL WORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5457-4
