Poverty Risk

A recent EU study claims that 80% of the Rroma are at risk of poverty. That is the title at least. That would mean that 8 to 9 million Rroma are at risk in Europe …
Then it turns out it is 80% of the interviewed Rroma (34k of them through Europe), which then is more reasonable, because all these surveys target exactly that part of the Rroma population. Bad reporting.
