The question of Roma is evergreen for the European society. They constitute a substantial part of the citizens of various countries and affect their social well-being. The majority of them are homeless, have no job and money that is why there are forced to commit a crime. As a result, they are not accepted by the society and have plenty of difficulties in carving out their lives.

What are the main challenges for Roma inclusion?

1. Prejudicial attitude. A big part of the Roma is gypsies. Usually, people treat them bad, as they steal, lie, may hypnotize you in order to rob or steal. After so many repetitive cases people try to protect themselves from the Roma and don’t want to socialize with them. As a result, the employers don’t want to hire them, as they don’t trust them. This barrier will be very difficult to overcome and the trust will be hard to restore. The government should create special quotas of places for those Roma, who want to work and who are ready to prove that they are trustworthy and hardworking.
2. Low level of intelligence. Usually, Roma have no or little access to education which is resulting in a low level of professionalism and a high rate of unemployment among them. Those representatives of Roma who are refugees wait for the donations from the country. They expect the government to give them money and shelter. This creates a wrong perception of the life. Those refugees consider themselves to be miserable and think that the country, they live in, owes them. But, in fact, it does not.
3. Different culture. Roma have their own culture and traditions and they don’t want to assimilate with the culture of their new citizenship. They don’t accept the traditions and the code of conduct of their new motherland. It is a vivid obstacle for their inclusion to the European society.
4. Territorial isolation. The refugees who call themselves Roma are often sent to the special camps for the refugees. They live there and communicate with their peers. It means that they are isolated from the inhabitants of the given country and this fact doesn’t stimulate their inclusion.
5. Non-acceptance. Another obstacle for Roma inclusion is their non-acceptance by the Europeans. They never treat them as peers and will never consider them to be Europeans. Moreover, they consider Roma be their competitors in terms of work. Those Roma, who want to work, accept a lower salary and have more chances to be hired as a menial worker than a citizen of the given country. In addition, the Europeans don’t like those who live on their taxes and do nothing, which is often the case of Roma. So, here we speak about personal rejection of the Roma by the natives of the given country.
