Abstract

Gypsy people encounter many obstacles once into the labour market. Some sections justify such unequal treatment by means of relativist arguments that devalue not only the Gypsy culture, but also that of other ethnic minorities. Nevertheless, the work done in WORKALÓ, proves that the barriers set upon the Gypsy community in the labour market come from discriminatory practices and attitudes, as well as from a racist behaviour that aims at justifying them. As a result, Gypsies are often treated differently in certain jobs as far as hiring, permanence, promotion and classification are concerned. Moreover, racism has many negative effects upon the way Gypsy people see themselves —feeling inferior, being afraid of revealing their own identity, or not daring to break with the stereotypes set upon their culture—, become barriers for them to enter the labour market on an equal basis.
