Economia sociala prin prisma saraciei. Cazul romilor din Romania

Abstract

Social exclusion and poverty have affected the lives of Roma for decades. Nowadays this continues in Romania and in many other countries in Europe. In Romania, a large obstacle for social inclusion of the Roma has been the lack of education, which has further led to a high degree af unemployment among the community. Additionally, many Roma have reached a high level of poverty, resulting in an income disparity, which in turn has contributed to social exclusion. This article aims at analyzing the causes of povety (in the case of Roma people) as well as the public policies that have been implemented until now in this respect.
