Abstract
The purpose of career assessment is to gather the relevant information for assisting clients in career choice and decision making. There is increasing recognition that until persons who are female or are ascribed as members of racial and ethnic minority groups have equal economic, educational, social, and political opportunities throughout their lives, socio-structural realities and their psychological concomitants will continue to be significant factors to assess. Importantly, the significance of those features lies in both their reality and perceived reality. But what factors should be assessed and how are we to assess them? The purpose of this article is to identify important new directions in the assessment of vocationally relevant socio-structural variables.Keywords
