- Abstract
This article deals with the assessment of the level of social exclusion of the Roma families in the Czech Republic in relation to sociodemographic factors and the whether their locality was officially labelled as excluded on the basis of the so-called 'Measures of a General Nature'. For the collection of data, we used the 20-item "Scale of social exclusion", which was created by the National Institute for Education and supplemented with basic sociodemographic questions (education, employment, overcrowded household), which we used as independent comparative factors. The group of respondents included Roma families who ethnically identified themselves as Roma. They were selected using quota sampling in the Czech Republic (N = 156). The essential finding in our research is that the label of exclusion of a locality does not correspond with the perception of its population regarding exclusion. It was proven that their sociodemographic factors were not essential for social exclusion besides a father's education. Items focused on the cultural and economic domain of social exclusion varied in sociodemographic factors. There was not a significant relationship between employment and overcrowded household.
