| Title | ROMA YOUTH IN ROMANIA'S CHANGING LABOR MARKET: GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS FOR ROMA EMPLOYMENT IN RURAL AREAS |
| Summary | This paper analyzes past and present employment programs in Romania designed to improve the employment status of the rural youth Roma population in the country. The Roma population in Romania, the majority of which lives in rural communities, has faced discrimination and poor educational opportunities, which has led to a disproportionately lower percentage of Roma in the workforce than their majority countrymen. This study will begin by introducing the past and current employment environment for Roma in Romania, discussing some of the issues that continue to hurt the employment prospects of Roma people in the country. It will look at programs initiated by both the government of Romania and the non-governmental sector, allowing for a comparative analysis of the differences and similarities in approaches between the programs from the two sectors. It will also discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches, and through this offering several recommendations to consider when formulating similar programs in the future. |
