The European Public Health Alliance is making an analysis based on existing material on the life expectancy gap between Roma and the general population.
Actually, speaking of Roma in this context is misleading. Poverty and education would be closer to the mark.

Strange Story

A really strange story: Maria Kirstent was adopted by a Danish couple at the age of four. She does not speak Hungarian. Two years ago, a Danish television company trusted a journalist to look up her parents who were found in a Roma ghetto. This is the story of the meeting and a clash of civilisation.

Hungary and Work

Published by:

According to Mr. László Kövér, the Speaker of the Parliament, Hungary which currently has a real labour shortage can count on two pillars: One is in the education system, which and the other is the “non-integrated part of the Roma population in Hungary. The education system has been underfunded and is segregating Roma, and Roma, especially in the countryside are forced to work in menial jobs under a public works program…
This is not really promising.
