SINGAPORE - Only seven in 100 architecture graduates said they will stay in the profession for the long haul, a survey conducted by the Singapore Institute of Architects found.

While those in the industry have long been aware of the talent drain, the institute's first vice-president Tiah Nan Chyuan, 45, said its survey of 536 young architecture graduates helped put a number to the situation.

Those who want to quit cited low wages and long hours, a lack of work-life balance as well as high stress and a poor work culture as reasons. Previously available only to architecture students in institutes of higher learning, the programme now also connects fresh graduates to experienced architects who will bring them up to speed with industry practices.
