Summary/Abstract: Purpose and Scope of the Research; Roma in the Labour Market: An Overview; The massive and disproportionate exclusion of Roma from employment is an undisputed reality in many countries. This fact raises serious human rights concerns about the failure of governments to curb racial discrimination in employment as well as to undertake proactive measures to confront disadvantages facing Roma on the labour market. In addition to fundamental human rights concerns, the fact that significant numbers of people of working age, especially in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe with large Romani populations, are not participating in the national economy, should be a matter of serious concern from economic development point of view.
