In 2022, a survey conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 36 percent of people of African descent in selected EU countries had experienced discrimination.
The job market is a good example of this, with almost a third of employed respondents of African descent having a temporary contract — a share three times higher than that of the general population across the EU.
Job security is a key factor influencing well-being and the risk of poverty, with temporary contracts being a more insecure form of employment than permanent ones.
