The document discusses unemployment and poverty issues among the Roma population in Hungary. 16% of Hungarians are Roma, who face high long-term unemployment, low education levels, and live in under-resourced regions with poor housing. The EQUAL initiative aims to promote new ways of combating discrimination in the labor market. The BRIDGE project will provide vocational training, jobs, housing renovations, and microcredit to unemployed Roma to improve living conditions and access to employment. Research was conducted on participants' education, employment status, housing, and other dimensions to develop targeted support groups.
