In Italy the Roma and Sinti workers have higher rates of unemployement compare to Italian workers and migrant workers, in particular between Roma and Sinti from Romania and ex-Yugoslavia. But for this evidence, there are not quantitative data available from official national reports, just only from local studies. This situation is due to a strong and direct discrimination affect these minorities in th4e labour market and as other dimensions of everyday life.
