Young Roma are entering labor markets at much higher rates than aging majority populations

Equal labor market opportunities would generate billions of euros annually in extra output

Equal labor market opportunities would generate fiscal benefits of hundreds of millions of euros annually

Fiscal benefits are many times larger than the public spending on education Assume it would cost 50% more per Roma child Assume Roma currently complete primary and 10% completes secondary Assume no Roma attends pre-primary or tertiary Fiscal benefits would be >3 times the needed resources to bridge education gap Fiscal benefits would be >3 times the needed resources to bridge education gap
