The study was constructed in the context of the long-term migration movements of the Gypsies and the socio-economic/cultural consequences of migration. The great migration of the Gypsies starting from India, their migration and settlement phases are discussed within the framework of historical records and appearances. There is a consensus in the literature that the Gypsy migrations that started from India were based on many reasons, took place in a process spanning many years, and were dispersed in small groups to various parts of the world at different times. Gypsies are communities that have adopted nomadism due to economic reasons in the countries where they settled after the great migrations. Because living as a nomadic person on the move without being tied to a place appears as an important life strategy in Gypsy communities. However, today, as their crafts lost their validity in the face of industrial transformation, they had to settle down. Thus, the problems faced by the Gypsies in the nomadic and nomadic life became more noticeable with the transition to settled life. Today, Gypsies who settled down have generally faced problems such as employment, education, accommodation and health. These problems have become much more acute especially for the Gypsies who have settled in the cities. After all, employment, education, housing, health, etc. The opportunities for the Gypsies, who took refuge in the peripheries of the cities due to the social and economic problems feeding each other, have faced serious problems. From this perspective, the article examines and discusses the general view of the Gypsies/Roma from the past to the present through the existing literature.
