Resource overview
This markscheme is listed under Geography in the 2000 examination archive. Its catalogue level is SL and HL. The catalogue session is November. The information below helps you identify the document before opening the complete PDF. Subject, year and session labels come from the archive catalogue; the original cover remains the reference if a label differs. A file is not automatically suitable for your current syllabus simply because its subject name matches.
Use this markscheme alongside its matching question paper. Attempt the questions first, then compare the required reasoning and the available marks. Record the exact step that lost credit rather than only the final answer. Examiner wording can help you distinguish a calculation error from missing explanation, but an older markscheme may use a previous assessment structure.
The public preview contains file information and, where reliable text extraction is available, a limited opening excerpt. It is not a summary of unseen questions or a replacement for the original document. Create a free email account to read or download the complete file.

This original usage overview is based on the archive metadata. It does not claim to summarise the complete file.

Notes to Examiners
Paper 1 is concerned essentially with terminology, skills, and techniques. It consists of five
questions, each worth [8 marks], and the total mark for the paper is [40 marks]. This increased
mark will be beneficial to candidates and markers alike, for it will allow the award of one mark for
virtually every response given by a candidate. Note, however, that the mark out of forty will be
scaled, as before, to produce an assessment weighting of 30% (SL) and 20% (HL).
Notes on individual questions
[3 marks]
Question 1:
The diagram below shows the proportion of total population (i) aged
0–14 and (ii) aged 60 and over in Economically More Developed Regions
(EMDRs) and Economically Less Developed Regions (ELDRs) between
1950–2050.
The question addresses the theme of population dynamics from the
perspectives of age and demographic transition. Candidates are required to
recognise patterns in the diagram: they are not expected to make calculations
though some may choose to do so in order to elucidate points made.
(a) Describe the main changes in the proportion of younger and older
people in ELDRs and EMDRs for the period 1950–2050.
The diagram shows an ageing world population. In more economically
developed regions, the percentage of younger persons, after cresting in
1960, declines from 27 per cent in 1950 to approximately 15 per cent in
2050. A similar pattern appears around 1968 in the case of ELDRs.
Candidates should receive [1 mark] for recognising both of these trends.
Candidates are asked only to “describe”. Reference to proportion must
involve some quantification in order to receive [1 mark] . A second
mark [1 mark] may be awarded for explanation or other observations;
for example, the fact that the change in economically less developed
regions will be much more dramatic than in economically more
developed ones. A third mark [1 mark] may be awarded for answers
that quantify the changes.
[1 mark]
(b) In what year does the proportion of older persons equal the
proportion
