A total of 56.9% of the Roma people in Bulgaria don’t and don’t want to work. This announced yesterday Baki Huseinov, coordinator of the international initiative for the Roma integration during a seminar on the topic “Empowerment of Roma women”. The initiative is related to tomorrow’s International day of the Roma people.

It became clear at the seminar that Bulgaria is one of the countries in Europe with highest level of birth rate among the girls of Roma origin.

According to Huseinov the high unemployment among the Roma people exists because of the low education, the lack of skills and the women’s duties in bringing up their many children. Many of those who work are engaged in the grey economy and therefore they don’t have any medical insurance.

However, there is a tendency for decrease in the early giving of birth among the Roma women, said at the seminar the Bulgarian minister of labor and social policy Emilia Maslarova.
