EA027: Investigating the Missing 32% with Architect Rosa Sheng [Podcast]

Architecture school graduating classes consist of approximately 50% men and 50% women, but somewhere along the way to licensure, 32% of the women drop out of the profession to pursue other paths. Why does this gender gap exist? What are those women doing, if they're not pursuing architecture? Where did they go? My guest this week on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, is on a mission to find out.

Architect Rosa Sheng is a member of the board of directors at AIA San Francisco and leads a committee called The Missing 32%. Their mission is to investigate what is causing this disparity between men and women architects and to support the women who do decide to pursue their passion for architecture.
