Why the disparity?
Why the disparity?
Women of color experience lack of recognition and representation both in academia and professional practice, which affects career trajectory. While close to 50% of women are earning degrees in Architecture and earn licensing requirements 1.2 times sooner than men, women only represent about 17% of firm principals and/or partners. A 2020 NCARB report shows that non-white candidates are 31% more likely to fall off the path of licensure. This is due to disparity in wages, promotions and recognition.
