Family Essay
The Caribbean is characterized by matrifocality. Is this a true assessment of the Caribbean? This essay was submitted by user: sasa09 General Comments on sasa09 Submitted Essay This essay was well written. The candidate understood the question and interpreted the question satisfactorily. The Candidate referred to the relevant sociological theorists as it relates to the question. Since the question spoke about the Caribbean in general, the candidate used her initative to confine her case study support to one country in this case Jamaica - by citing relevant data relating to the issue (matrifocality). Altogether the essay was coherent. Suggestions for an enhanced essay: The candidate could have included data from one or two more other Caribbean territories to drive home the point that matrifocality is prevalent in the Caribbean. In 1997 Mondesire and Dunn noted the percentage of female headed households in various countries: Antigua 41.5%, Bahamas 35.8%, Barbados 45.3%, Grenada 42.7%,

Jamaica 38.0% and Trinidad & Tobago 28.1%.
