가리봉동수학 of Hispanics from race/ethnicity classifications and the introduction of the “Two or More Races” category. NCES has data on degrees conferred from to 1976. However, data identifying those of Hispanic origin were not available until 1980. The category “Two or More Races” was not used until 2010 following new OMB regulations. Equity Indicator 5: How Do Educational Attainment Rates and Early Outcomes Vary by Family Characteristics? 107 degrees (93 percent parity), 11 percent of bachelor’s degrees (73 percent of parity), 14 percent of master’s degrees (93 percent parity), and 9 percent of doctoral degrees (60 percent of parity). In 1980, those of Hispanic origin represented 6 percent of the total civilian population and 8 percent of the population age 18 to 24, yet earned 4 percent of associate’s degrees and 2 percent of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees conferred. By 2016, Hispanics were about 18 percent of the civilian population and 22 percent of those age 18 to 24, but earned 20 percent of associate’s degrees (90 percent of parity relative to the population age 18 to 24); 13 percent of bachelor’s degrees (59 percent of parity), 10 percent of master’s degrees (45 percent of parity), and 8 percent of doctoral degrees (36 percent of parity). In 1980, those of Asian/Pacific Islander origin represented 2 percent of the total civilian population and 2 percent of persons age 18 to 24. In 1980 Asians earned 2 percent of the associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees conferred. By 2016, Asians represented 6 percent of the civilian population and the population age 18 to 24, and earned 5 percent of the associate’s degrees (83 percent of parity), 8 percent of bachelor’s degrees (133 percent of parity), 7 percent of master’s degrees (116 percent of parity), and 13 percent of doctoral degrees (216 percent of parity). In 2016, Whites remained overrepresented in degrees conferred relative to their representation in the total population (61 percent) and population age 18 to 24 (54 percent). Whites were awarded 57 percent of associate’s degrees (105 percent of parity relative to population age 18 to 24), 65 percent of bachelor’s degrees (120 percent of parity), 67 percent of master’s degrees (124 percent of parity), and 69 percent of doctoral degrees (127 percent of parity). 108 2018 Equity Indicators Report NOTE: *The categories (White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islanders, American Indian/Alaska Native and Two or More Races) exclude Hispanics. Race/ethnicity categories reflect the titles used at the time of reporting. Caution is warranted in interpreting this Indicator as categories for race and ethnicity classifications have changed over time. The category “Two or More Races” was not included in 1980. In 2016, in the population figures by the Census Bureau, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders were classified separately from Asians and were 0.2 percent of the U.S. population. The inclusion of the “Two or More Races” category likely reduced the percent of persons who classified themselves as Black, American Indian/Alaska Native or Asian.
