About this survey

FRA’s 2021 survey on Roma in Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, North Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Serbia and Spain collected information from 8,461 respondents living in private households who self-identify as Roma, are 16 or older and have lived in the survey countries for at least the 12 months before the survey. In addition, information was collected on 20,212 people living in the survey respondents’ households and on the infrastructure of their neighbourhoods. The fieldwork took place from February until August 2021 through face-to-face interviews, with trained interviewers using a computerised questionnaire.

The survey aimed to provide data that can serve as a baseline for the EU Roma framework’s headline and secondary indicators included in the portfolio of indicators. These indicators are marked in the visualization with ‘H’ (headline indicator) or ‘S’ (secondary indicator) in the title of question and in the Notes under the graphics of a given question. The survey aligns with previous surveys (Second EU Minorities and Discrimination Survey (2016) and the Roma and Travellers Survey (2018-2019)), which allows for analysing trends in key indicators. This should help Member States to develop more targeted measures in their national Roma frameworks and to assess the achievement of their objectives. The survey further refines research methodologies for sampling and surveying hard-to-reach or elusive populations. These methodologies are shared with the Member States. The 2021 Council recommendation on Roma equality, inclusion and participation envisages FRA or individual Member States repeating the Roma Survey in 2024 and 2028 to provide the data necessary for mid- and end-term results assessment.

The Roma survey 2021 results are published in Roma in 10 European countries – Main results: Roma survey 2021. The questionnaire and technical information on how the survey was done are publicly available as well.
