The answer was -0.04 but u had to leave its as -0.0 to get the second mark as it was to 1 dp

but -0.0 isn't a number! so doesnt that mean that tthey gave us a SR table that doesnt work. also ive never seen a SR that is a negative

Did anyone mention about Haiti’s corrupt governance in either the 18 or 24 marker?

yh i did and how it linked to poor housing quality which then led to immense financial and human costs during natural hazards, hindering development and economic stability

did anyone use franks dependency theory when talking about colonialism in haiti or was it a reach ?

i talked about Frank's dependency theory regarding the US outcompeting Haiti and then not allowing them to put in place tariffs and with the high value imports and low value exports

U really said 0 isn’t a number??

icl guys they'll probably end up accepting both -0.0 and 0 or -0 or whatever, if enough people have answered that way the mark scheme will reflect the differences

0 should be correct because you were workign out a correlation which is between -1 - 1 so 0 just means that there is no collelation betweeen the variables which is the answer to part c

What did you guys write for the 24 marker I found it too vague personally

I concluded with saying that international action is what resulted In Haiti's current *****y situation; and so isn't the solution to a prosperous future. I compared Haiti to Cuba, saying that Cuba is miles ahead so Haiti should just follow in their footsteps and have a revolution to overthrow the (lack of) government. How about you?

i said that overtime although haiti will face short term disadvantage it would slowly develop into the secondary industry then tertiary industry (used rostows development model) and potentially reduce poverty like it did in China as China used to have widespread poverty.

All the other essays was fine- the 24 marker had me fishing out points and it was hard to do it, but what I said was:
1) international action: Haiti will be able to open up by joining IGOs to allow more trade - more economic growth
2) local action: Haiti needs to have a localised change - governance and corruption
3) international action: Haiti’s future will be insecure due to the role of climate agreements
4) local action: Haiti’s stability and its population needs to be maintained through rebuilding infrastructures (fig 9) to maintain stability for the pop

i did this!!!

Highly unlikely scenario, but you could argue it I guess. Haiti just doesn't have the resources (human/ physical/ natural) to do what China did.

Surely 0 isn't correct tho cos they said 1 decimal place so technically that is 0.0?

I put 0.0 too, but 0 is correct they just wanted you to realise that 0 can’t be negative and also u don’t get confused with significant figures.
But 0 or 0.0 doesn’t hold any real value so both get given right
