1. 1(a)(i)2 marksDistinguish between 'population distribution' and 'population density'.
2. 1(a)(ii)3 marksCalculate the population density for Country X which has an area of 27 000 km² and a total population of 783 000.
3. 1(b)4 marksOutline TWO economic factors that influence variations in population distribution.
4. 2(a)(i)2 marksDefine the term 'doubling time' of a population.
5. 2(a)(ii)2 marksOutline ONE way in which the doubling time impacts on the development of a country.
6. 2(b)(i)3 marksState THREE main features of Boserup's view of the relationship between resources and population growth in relation to the statement 'Population growth leads to development.'
7. 2(b)(ii)2 marksOutline ONE criticism of Boserup's theory.
8. 3(a)(i)1 markDefine the term 'international migration'.
9. 3(a)(ii)2 marksWith reference to specific examples, state TWO social problems in the destination country that are associated with international migration.
10. 3(a)(iii)2 marksState TWO benefits which countries of origin obtain from international migration.
11. 3(b)4 marksDescribe, with the aid of a well-labelled diagram, the relationship between the volume of movement of migrants and the distance between origin and destination.
