Qualitative Info |
Probably the most serious problem faced by Roma is the increasing spatial differentiation of their community. The concentration of Roma in segregated neighborhoods has increased over the last 15 years in both urban and rural areas. This concentration in separate quarters usually leads to social isolation, to the deterioration of living conditions, problems with construction and maintenance of infrastructure and sanitation, to transport problems and difficulties in providing services. One of the worst consequences of this differentiation is the deterioration of the opportunity for younger generations to access quality education and the growing demand and difficulties in finding employment. |
