The A Level Sociology: Work, Poverty and Welfare bundle (AQA 7192/2) provides students with a rich, critical, and exam-focused resource pack for one of the most applied and socially relevant topics in the course. This bundle explores the nature and organisation of work, the causes and consequences of poverty, and the development and impact of welfare provision in the UK. Students will examine key sociological debates around social inequality, welfare dependency, the significance of worklessness, and the changing structure of the labour market, while also considering how different social groups (based on class, gender, age, and ethnicity) are affected by these processes.

The resource pack includes detailed PDF topic summaries, PowerPoint presentations, and podcast episodes covering all major areas of the specification can be accessed free of charge at: . Concepts such as poverty, types of welfare provision, ideologies influencing social policy, patterns of distribution, and responses to poverty are explored in detail. Students are introduced to a range of theoretical perspectives, including Functionalist, Marxist, New Right, and Feminist approaches, and are encouraged to evaluate the impact of social policy and global economic change on life chances and inequality.

To build strong analytical and writing skills, the bundle includes a wide range of skills-based activities, connectives worksheets, and theory-application tasks, along with a comprehensive question bank featuring exam-style short and extended questions with model answers. Topics such as “Evaluate the view that welfare policies have failed to reduce poverty” and “Assess the impact of worklessness on life chances” are supported with structured scaffolds and peer-assessment tools. Interactive quizzes consolidate understanding of key terms, theories, and policy developments.

Altogether, this complete bundle helps students to understand and evaluate the shifting relationship between work, poverty, and welfare in contemporary society—making it an essential resource for both classroom delivery and independent study for Paper 2.
