MARKSCHEME November 2002 GEOGRAPHY Higher Level and Standard Level Paper 2 9 pages N02/320/HS(2)M+ INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE BACCALAURÉAT INTERNATIONAL BACHILLERATO INTERNACIONALc Notes on individual questions [6 marks] 1. (a) Describe and explain the differences in population structure between the two countries. [6 marks] should be allocated for description and explanation, but the allocation may not be evenly balanced between the two. Description should cover both age and sex balance in each case. For full marks there should be a breakdown into structural age components e.g. 0–15, 16–64 and 65+ and some estimate of the % values for each component. Explanation should recognise the influence of different birth rate s and death rates upon structure and factors leading to sex imbal ance. Only a brief mention of background causes for these differences (levels of devel opment, health care) would be required for full marks. [6 marks] (b) Describe and give reasons for the differences in the level of economic dependence of each population shown. [6 marks] should again be split between descrip tion and explanation but the split may be uneven. Description should refer to employment data and estimates of the population employed/not employed should be made for the three age components. Both age and sex differences should be mentioned. Explanation should focus upon economic and social differences between MEDCs and LEDCs leading to greater affluence and old age dependence in the former and child labour, lower status of women and youth dependence in the latter.
