AQA A-level GEOGRAPHY 7037/1 Paper 1 Physical Geography Mark scheme June 2021 Section A  Qu Part Marking guidance  Total marks  01 1 Explain how differential access to markets c... an impact on economic well-being. Mark scheme Award one mark each for points of knowledge or understanding. Allow extra marks for developed points (d). Notes for answers Allow credit for specific knowledge and understanding of what differential access means and how it affects economic well-being. Do not double credit opposite points such as ‘in a trade bloc means easier trade’ and ‘not being a trade bloc makes trade difficult’. For full marks there should be a link to economic well-being. • Beinginatradingblocincreasesthepotentialfortrade(1),for example NAFTA means that trade is enabled between Mexico and the US (1) (d). This improves economic well-being for Mexico where thousands of jobs are generated in the car industry (1). • However,beinginatradingbloccanalsohavenegativeimpactssuch as a dependence on the economy of countries in the trading bloc (1). For example, Mexico suffered economically due to recession in the US in 2008 (1) due to its reliance on exports to the US (1) (d). • Some countries do not have access to trading blocs which limits trade (1) For example, Ukraine does not have access to the single market of the EU and has to negotiate its own deal (1). This means Ukrainians are not free to move to the EU to earn higher wages reducing economic well-being (1) (d). • Tradeagreementscanbeseenasbeingunfair(1).Developing countries don’t have access to the rich markets of the EU (1) (d). This results in them finding it harder to trade and subsequently develop (1) (d). • TheWTOhassoughttoensurethatdevelopingcountriesallhave preferential access to developed trade markets (1). This provision is called Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) (1) (d). The aim of this is to promote faster income and growth (1) (d). • ExamplesoftradepreferenceschemesincludetheEUs‘Everything but Arms’ (1) (d) accepts goods from the least developed countries on an import tax reduced, quota-free basis (1) (d). • However,somepeoplecriticisepreferentialtradeagreementsasthey can cause cheap imports to flood in (1). This can result in deindustrialisation in developed countries and higher unemployment (1) (d). The notes for answers are not exhaustive. Credit any valid points.   4 AO1 = 4 AQA A-level GEOGRAPHY 7037/1 Paper 1 Physical Geography Mark scheme June 2021  01 2 Analyse the data shown in Figure 1. AO3 – Analysis of the graph to show relationships between attitudes towards globalisation, change in GDP, total GDP, and the percentage foreign-born population. Mark scheme Level 2 (4–6 marks) AO3 – Clear analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evidence provided which makes appropriate use of data to support. Clear connections between different aspects of the data. Level 1 (1–3 marks) AO3 – Basic analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evidence provided which makes limited use of data to support. Basic or limited connections between different aspects of the data. Notes for answers This question requires analysis of attitudes towards globalisation in the countries shown in figure 1. They should consider the connections between attitude and change in GDP and may also consider the connections with overall GDP and / or percentage of the foreign-born population. AO3 • Generally,thereisapositivecorrelationbetweenapositiveattitude and greater increase in GDP, for example, more than double the percentage of people agree globalisation is positive in India than France, and India has about 26% greater change in GDP.
