Criteria Feedback
- The student's investigation is clearly anchored to a specific programme, place and time period, which gives it a workable and relevant focus.
- The student identifies a sensible economic problem and connects it to unemployment, skills and temporary public employment in a coherent way.
- The student's method shows awareness of several limitations, including sampling bias and the difficulty of isolating programme effects.
- The student's research question is still broader than the evidence can fully answer because the outcome of 'labour market failure' is not defined precisely enough.
- The study would be stronger if the student named exact indicators of success, such as sustained employment, formal job transition or reduced underemployment.
- The student's description of the method needs more detail about sampling, data collection and analysis so the approach is fully transparent.

Criteria Feedback
- The student uses a relevant range of source material, including statistics, policy information and primary responses, and much of it is connected to the question they are exploring.
- The student shows a clear understanding of key economic ideas such as unemployment, labour markets, human capital, informality and public employment.
- The student uses a range of terminology that is mostly appropriate and helps frame the investigation in an economics context.
- Some important claims are not securely tied to clearly traceable sources, and some references in the writing do not appear consistently in the reference list.
- Several economic concepts are used imprecisely, especially where the student treats unemployment itself as a market failure without defining the specific failure more carefully.
- Some diagrams and explanations need tighter economic accuracy, especially in the way axes, equilibrium and shifts are labelled and described.
