Summary/Abstract: In their study, the authors focus on the situation of Romani population in Hungary in past and present focusing on the censuses from 1782, 1893, and also providing valid figures for the present days (700.000 of Gypsies in the actual Hungary). They identify three categories of Gypsies: Hungarian gypsies or Romungros, Vlach group that migrated from Wallachia in the 19th century and Boyash gypsies that migrated from Banat and Southern Transylvania in 19th century. The authors wrote on integration and assimilation of Gypsies considering that the ideal multicultural society has failed, focusing on factors hindering integration and factors favorizing assimilation.
