This Distribution of Poverty bundle within the A Level Sociology: Work, Poverty and Welfare unit (7192/2) provides students with a comprehensive and evaluative understanding of how poverty is distributed across society and the factors that shape inequality. The PDF summary explores key patterns and trends in poverty across class, age, gender, ethnicity, region, and family structure, drawing on official statistics, sociological research, and contemporary case studies. It introduces distinctions between absolute and relative poverty, examines how poverty is measured (including the use of official indicators like the HBAI), and discusses criticisms of poverty data and definitions.

The PowerPoint presentation breaks down complex ideas into accessible visuals, using graphs, case studies, and key sociological insights to explain how and why poverty affects some groups more than others. The bundle includes skills-based activities and connectives worksheets to help students structure their arguments effectively and critically engage with data. Tasks include analysis of poverty distribution maps, debate prompts, and data interpretation questions.

A targeted podcast episode offers a student-friendly breakdown of how poverty is experienced differently by various social groups, and how structural and cultural explanations account for these differences. The question bank contains a range of short-answer and extended exam-style questions, complete with model responses, including prompts such as “Evaluate the view that poverty is a result of social inequality” and “Assess sociological explanations for the uneven distribution of poverty in the UK.” An interactive quiz supports consolidation of key concepts, terms, and statistics.

Together, this bundle provides everything needed to confidently master the Distribution of Poverty topic, helping students develop strong theoretical understanding, data analysis skills, and exam-ready evaluation.
