Changes to Economy and Employment

Question 1

Relationship between income and happiness

Answer 1

People are generally less happy in London despite highest income

This may be due to high cost of living, so having high wages doesn’t make up for how expensive it is

Due to high cost of living, people will struggle to do as many leisure activities

It’s also a lonelier city as people tend to have moved there far from families

Question 2

Relationship between occupational groups and life expectancy

Answer 2

People in higher position jobs with higher wage tend to have higher life expectancy

Whereas lower class occupations have lower life expectancy

This may be due to more financial stress and being more likely to have to wait for NHS treatment instead of fast, private healthcare

Question 3

Relationship between deprivation and health

Answer 3

The more deprived an area is, the less healthy people are

This may be due to being unable to afford healthiest food e.g. fresh fruit

May be more stressed, causing decline in mental health

Question 4

Relationship between income and educational attainment

Answer 4

The higher someones income the better quality of their education

This is because they can afford private schools or tutors, and the family may have a higher work culture and push children to have higher work ethics
