    My predictions for the unit 4 paper:
    Quantitative methods
    And most liked either age or gender

    Yeah I predict them too, qualitative methods have come up in the last two papers, so I doubt they'd Put it in for the third time !?!?

    Somebody explain vertical and horizontal segregation to me. Very confusing stuff.

    Vertical segregation = different levels in a job e.g. manager of a store or sales adviser. women then to be lower than men.

    Horizontal segregation = different types of jobs. e.g. men are tend to be found in business where as women are found jobs like cleaning

    hope that helps

    I'm praying that age or gender come up, as they are the only ones I have revised!

    Also my teacher thinks either quantitative methods or ethics will come up for the methodology question.

    I had Media exam, it totally messed me up mainly because of timing but the questions that came up were so simple and straightforward but i just didn't have enough time so i panicked! :-(

    I really hope Gender comes up, good luck to you all i hope you get the grades you need :-)

    I know someone already replied to this but I find it easy to remember because I think horizontal as in on the same level but in different bits (like lots of different boxes!) and vertical as being levels with high/low job status, like a lift
    that may have made no sense at all
