A cigányság helyzetének változása 2011–2025 között
Changes in the situation of the Romani Population in Hungary between 2011–2025

Summary/Abstract: The study is based on two sets of data: statistical data examining the educational attainment and deprivation issues of the Romani population, and interviews that provide a deeper analysis of the Roma Strategy 2030. In our study, examining the social mobility and social restructuring of the Romani community is particularly important. When we discuss them in general terms, we may think that they are uneducated and cannot even read or write. Still, we also encounter university students who are difficult to imagine coming from socially disadvantaged families. In reality, the Romani community in Hungary is almost as stratified as the majority population, only their social classes are different. Above the extremely poor, destitute, and lowest stratum, which derives its income only from antisocial sources, there is also a more or less educated and skilled generation. Still, their proportions differ from the social average. Therefore, in the second part of our study, we examine the opportunities and dilemmas that arise in relation to the Romani community.
