“…Several international agencies such as the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education have stressed the potential of technology in fostering inclusion in school (European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education, 2013 [109]). Research highlights that young Roma children tend to suffer from digital exclusion (Garmendia and Karrera, 2019 [110]), although mastering ICT is nowadays crucial for young people to be empowered and realise their rights. There are still very few projects that rely on ICT as a force to include Roma students, though evidence shows that the use of media technology as a pedagogical tool tends to lead to a better sense of belonging and increase participation in school (Frangoulidou, 2013[111]).…”

“…One of the key factors of the high unemployment rate and frequently occurring inactivity of the marginalized Roma is health well-being, especially mental and psychological health. The inhabitants of the marginalized Roma communities (hereinafter MRC) are more at the risk of health issues, including mental health and mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety (Gatti et al, 2016). According to the EU-MIDIS II, about 37 % of Roma woman and 31% of Roma men declared that in the last six months their everyday activities were very severely or mildly severely restricted due to health problems compared to 31.3% of women and 28% of men of the general population in Slovakia (FRA, 2016).…”

Health and mental well-being are essential dimensions of social inclusion in labour market and education. Despite the Roma marginalized communities in Slovakia encounter adverse health conditions that negatively affect their work integration and educational prospects, a little attention is paid to exploring the determinants of mental health of this vulnerable group. The aim of the paper is to explore socio-economic determinants of mental well-being of marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia by utilizing regression analysis of the EU-SILC MRC 2018 module survey data about the living conditions of the marginalized Roma communities. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant impact of the poor housing conditions, and dissatisfaction with the financial situation on the self-perceived feelings of anxiety and depression, and nervousness among the inhabitants of the marginalized Roma communities. At the same time, possessing social capital in terms of being satisfied with relationships with the family relatives, friends, and other people around, decreases the probability of feelings of anxiety and nervousness which refers to the benefits of social capital for copying with hardships. Based on the intersectionality theoretical framework and social ecosystem approach to social inclusion of disadvantaged groups, these findings call for an awareness of policy makers of a crucial part of the social inclusion, including the integration of this cohort at the labour market.
