Examiners report
Most responses to (a)(i) were able to receive 1 mark for demonstrating an approximate understanding of relative poverty but few could provide a definition precise enough to be awarded full marks. A significant number of candidates exhibited confusion between the concepts of absolute poverty and relative poverty.
