AQA A-Level Sociology | Paper 2 | 2027 Predicted Paper | Section A: Families and Households Mark Scheme
Question 04
Outline and explain two ways in which an ageing population may affect families and households.
[10 marks]
What is expected in the answer?
Outline and explain requires students to identify two distinct effects of an ageing population and explain how each changes families or households. For 10 marks, two developed paragraphs are normally sufficient. Students do not need an introduction or conclusion, and extended evaluation is unnecessary.
The essential connection is:
ageing population → particular demographic/family change → effect on families or households.
Students should not spend the answer explaining why the population is ageing.
