Step-by-step solution
Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.
- 1 mark
Aim of fair globalisation: Fair globalisation creates opportunities for all and ensures that its benefits are shared more equally.

Government policy: Government policies must protect the interests of all people, not only the rich and powerful.
- 1 mark
Labour laws: Labour laws must be properly implemented so that workers get their rights, such as fair wages and safe conditions.
