AQA Sociology SCLY1 Family &amp; Households 13th May 2013.

Yeah I gues but then you would have to include terminology, and what terminology would you include... isnt that how you get marks by including terminology and/or studies?

A question of demography, I'm guessing you'd get the marks for giving the correct reasons and explaining terminology; such as explaining what 'birth rate' actually means and what 'the dependency ratio' actually is? Things like that.

I've sat it twice already. I've sitting it again as an independent candidate on the Tuesday after this exam? :colonhash:

My AS Levels are shockingly bad. My A2 Levels not so bad. I didn't give a flying monkey about year 12. Big mistake :tongue:

Most likely topics are coming up is demography (birth/death rates), family patterns (marriage/divorce), couples (division of labour)

Family least likely to come up, What does every1 think of childhood, social policies coming up???

is the dependency ratio the different between the working population the the non working?

if so what do you say about it?

Pretty much. You can say the 'burden of dependency' has been reduced because of the fall in the fertility rate/birth rate - You can pretty much use it for either. If the question is about death rates, you could say the dependency ratio has increased because pensioners are part of the dependent population and as a percentage of the population, pensioners as a group are increasing - In 2014, the number of people aged over 65+ is due to overtake the number of under 16's.

Yh social policy and childhood are my weakest. Family diversity came up twice as 24 marker, theories of family maybe not caused they asked marxism in jan 2013, if it does come up then it would be functionalists.

Isn't that segregated division of labour, women take responsibility for housework and mothering and men take responsibility for being the breadwinner and head of the household

I would love a demography question :redface:

Gershuny - shift towards equality, Silver and Schor - Commercialisation of housework, Dual Burden with Ferri and Smith's study, Lesbian couples and gender scripts, Pahl and Vogler - Allowance system and pooling, Edgell's study of what decisions are made by which gender.

^ I think that's all you'd need to know for a question on the sexual division of labour.

EDIT: I might actually be wrong though :lol:
