Employed / not self-employed
Mechanised / fewer workers
Regular working hours
Regular / fixed wages
In purpose built factory / office
Legal / registered / pays tax

urban areas? Explain your answer. [6]
Might Would otherwise be unemployed / unemployed / unemployable find work
Source of income
Can afford better diet / improved housing / education / luxuries
May be suitable for unskilled / illiterate

Goods / services available locally

Might not Poor working conditions

Low / irregular incomes
Too many people doing the same thing / too much competition

(ii) State and explain three advantages of establishing cottage industries in a rural
area. [6]
Advantages
Employment / self-employment
Employment of women / whole families
Income / export earnings
Meets demands of local market
Raw materials available locally / cheaply
Low technology
Explanation
Ability to support family
Reduces rural-urban migration of otherwise unemployed
Promotes independence / equality of women
Raises standard of living / quality of life
Boosts national economy / GDP / BOP
Puts money in local economy
Promotes self-reliance of area
Saves expensive imports / extra transport costs
Suitable for poorer people
Low set-up costs
(d) To what extent can small scale and cottage industries be sustainable? Explain your
answer. [6]
Possibilities
Can be done in the home (so low set up costs)
Local raw materials / re-used waste materials (therefore cheap / less need to borrow
money)
Simple technology (so less need for electricity / power supply)
Small scale causing less damage to environment
Traditional skills / does not demand education (people can support themselves when
other, work not available / possible)
Government support / schemes / loans
Use of machinery ,Use of electricity (allowing work after dark)
Provision of other named infrastructure ,Training / education
Problems
Small output / low earnings ,Low profits (therefore difficult to escape poverty)
Need for ‘middle man’ which reduces profits
Poor quality products (so lack of demand / low value)
Use of child labour (restricting markets / sales) ,Lack of education / telecommunications
(which limits marketing skills / limit marketing ability)

in rural areas.

Which view do you agree with more? Give reasons to support your answer and refer to places
or examples you have studied.
Indicative content (developed points in parentheses)
Large scale
For
Reduces need for expensive imports of finished goods (e.g. vehicles)
Export potential
Fulfils domestic demand (e.g. galvanised steel in construction)
Greater contribution to GDP
Encourages private sector to invest (e.g. Pindi Bhattian)
New industries would encourage large scale employment
Against
Expensive to set up (foreign investment/loans/debt)
May require expensive imports of raw materials (e.g. coking coal/iron ore for steel industry)
Changes of government/political instability (large projects may be delayed/cancelled)
Employs relatively fewer people (approx. 20% industrial workforce/very few women)

of location for a steel mill. You should develop your answer.
physical factor
______________________
• Raw material; heavy and bulky to transport / so factory would be best
located close to the source of the raw material in order to reduce cost of
transportation (dev);
• Water; a large quantity of water is needed in steel manufacture / so the
factory would be sited near to a large source of water e.g. a river or lake (dev);
• Land; flat land is required; as it is easier to build on (dev) / unused land
is preferred as money does not have to be spent cleaning up the land
first (dev) / large area of land so there is room for expansion and
storage if needed in the future (dev); cheap land / so that it is affordable
for businesses and loans do not have to be taken out (dev).
human factor
______________
• Power; situated near to a thermal or nuclear power station / is preferred
so that energy supplies will be uninterrupted (dev);
• Labour; skilled and unskilled labour is required so located near to a
large town or city / so that labour can access the factory (dev);
• Market; located to large towns and cities / railways / ports / so that the
products can easily be transported for sale or export (dev); [4]
• Communication; near to motorways / railways and / or good IT
infrastructure / so that goods can be transported efficiently and deals
can be made within Pakistan or beyond (dev);
• Transport; near to main road and rail network and ports for the
movement of raw material in / finished products out / and for workers /
large and bulky raw material needs to be near factory (dev);
• Capital; tax breaks, loans, incentives, (dev) etc. [4]

(d) The number of information technology (IT) users in Pakistan has increased rapidly since
2000.

Evaluate the extent to which the use of IT in Pakistan has the potential to reduce
unemployment. Give reasons to support your judgement and refer to examples you have
studied. You should consider different points of view in your answer.

IT may reduce unemployment because

More entrepreneurs are generated;
Will reduce the need for managers to be brought in from businesses abroad;
New businesses will open;
Can train future generations;
Further development of tertiary and/or quarternary sectors;
Many people own smart phones;
Can have basic skills to use a phone or computer to set up a business from
home;
Can be carried out in any language; etc.

IT may not reduce unemployment because

Equipment and training can be expensive;
Not all students/families can afford to go to university and develop IT
expertise;
Many IT graduates emigrate so Pakistan does not always benefit from them;
Not all areas have a reliable electricity supply; etc.
