Gypsy Population In Bulgaria Increased Twice Over 01/12/2011

Gypsy population in Bulgaria increased twice over according to statistics of Bulgarian Academy of Science about the period between 1946-2011. Gypsies, who made 2.42% of the population, made 4,9 % of the population in 2011. It is also possible that real rates could be higher beuse formal rates show Gypsies who speak Romanes or who declare themselves as Rom.

Either birth rate and sick rate-deaths among Gypsies are higher in Bulgaria according to the knowledge shared by Bulgarian Academy of Science. Increasing of Gypsy population defined as a threat by racist groups before. Racist groups who accept growing Gypsy population as a threat for themselves try to increase hostility against Gypsies instead of trying to solve social problems Gypsy community face.

There is an other side of the issue that statictics only show population of Romani speaking Gypsies. However there are various Gypsy groups living in Gypsy settlements with Roma. Common solutions have to be found for all these groups on account of the fact that they suffer from similar problems. Ignoring of non-Roma Gypsies in researches about Gypsies hide the real importance of the issue.
