Mapping of research on Roma children
The mapping of research on Roma children was financed by the European Commission and finalised in September 2018. It looked at 74 research topics that were then divided into nine thematic areas - child protection; civil documentation; discrimination; education; employment; health; housing; migration; and social protection.
The mapping included research published between 1 January 2014 – 31 December 2017 and covered the following countries: Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Spain and Slovakia.
The objectives of the mapping were to:
- map relevant Roma child related research across 17 European countries;
- assess whether this research was child-rights based;
- explore research gaps; and
- recommend child rights-based research to be replicated and suggest the type and form of research that should be implemented
Final report: Mapping of research on Roma children in the European Union (2014-2017)
