Criteria Feedback
- The student states a clear, economically relevant research question with a defined country, policy change, and population.
- The student chooses a topic that is suitable for systematic investigation and connects it to relevant labour-market theory.
- The student includes a recognisable methodological plan and shows some awareness of source selection and limitations.
- The research question is slightly too causal for the evidence design the student uses.
- The youth age range is inconsistent across the paper, which weakens focus.
- The method does not explain how the student will isolate the wage increase from other changes affecting youth employment and participation.

Criteria Feedback
- The student uses a range of relevant official and academic sources to build their discussion.
- The student shows clear knowledge of core labour-market ideas such as price floors, unemployment, participation, and elasticity.
- The student generally applies terminology accurately and connects theory to the issue they are studying.
- Some important claims rely on sources or applications that are too general for the specific Australian youth-labour context.
- The student treats national aggregate employment and participation as if they directly measure the effect of the minimum-wage change on all youth workers.
