Report on the living conditions of Roma in Slovakia

Abstract

Publisher's description: Disaggregated quantitative data and analyses are a precondition for efficient national policy-making on the inclusion of vulnerable groups into society, particularly the Roma. This report is based on data gleaned by the Roma Household Survey 2005, which was carried out by UNDP and the World Bank. It represents the most comprehensive survey of Roma households carried out in the Slovak Republic to date. The report covers the following subjects: dwelling status and condition, health, income, expenditure, employment, education and social benefits. The policy recommendations made in the report identify current challenges for social policies in this area.
