    sociology unit 1 families &households
    hey there!

    had to repeat this module today cuse i got a d the last time
    to start off with does anyone know what that definition was?never heard of it !

    for the decline in marriage i said
    -cost- weddings costing over £17,000
    -fear of dicorce- 40% end in divorce
    thats all i wrote for that would it get me 4 marks??

    also for the aging population i wrote
    those seeking pensions means that the middle-class working population will have to work longer.
    Also because the ageing are prone to health problems and illness medical care will need to be improved.
    Eventually the ageing will die, resulting in a reduction in the population and the birth rate will decrease becase few mothers are having children, this means that there will be few young educated people to fill the gaps and jobs of the ageing population.

    would that get me 6?? i really was confused

    for the second essay i only referred to the item like twice i nearly forgot it eek!!

    The definition ''matrifocal family'' means a family type with just a mother and her children.

    You should get four marks for those answers.
