| 520 | _aDiscusses whether the under-representation of ethnic minorities in architecture is important or just inevitable. Recent surveys have found that 8% of architecture students had come across racial discrimination in their university or workplace. Recent statistics have also highlighted that, although ethnic minorities make up 6.7% of the economically active population, they only account for about 2% of those employed in construction. Under representation may be the result of lack of awareness of the opportunities available in the construction industry and because of the lack of appropriate role models. Warns that constant monitoring and special provisions for ethnic minorities may actually increase peoples awareness of race and encourage divisions. | ||
