I would love my dissertation to be a theoretical dissertation. The marking scheme is below. There is a guideline to be follow as well.

In the social sciences area, a theoretical dissertation is an exhaustive review of the literature that aims to identify empirical and theoretical gaps, put forward research questions and hypotheses that could potential be tested in an empirical study, but we do not expect there to be actual analysis of data. Some of these might be a ??halfway?? type dissertation and include a meta-analysis of existing data, though in these circumstances the empirical examination report is probably more appropriate.
Introduction
[to be assessed against the following criteria: identify clearly the aims, motivation and significance of the planned research; summarise the findings of the research; provide sufficient background or context for the study; indicate clearly the planned structure of the dissertation.]

 
Literature review
[to be assessed against the following criteria: comprehensive and relevant review of existing literature in the area; identification of deficiencies in current theory that this analysis will address; demonstration that this theoretical analysis makes a new contribution to thinking; explicitness of assumptions; propositions and research questions derived from the framework show logical adequacy; the relationship between antecedents and consequences is specified; for humanities style dissertations the whole dissertation could be more or less a review of the literatures and this section may not be entirely relevant.]
Research design
[to be assessed against the following criteria: outline of hypotheses or research propositions that follow from the theory specifically their empirical (i.e., propositions can be operationalised in such a way that they are falsifiable) and predictive adequacy; description of research design that would enable testing or analysis of those questions, and so on; for a humanities study such as a history dissertation what needs to be assessed is the adequacy of use of available literatures or sources to develop an appropriate analytical narrative.]

Discussion
[to be assessed against the following criteria potential implications of the critique of past theory and the proposed hypotheses, methods and approaches for the empirical testing of the theory or the understanding of the discourse, etc, related to the theory; in an humanities dissertation the emphasis is on assessing the fluency and persuasiveness of the analytical narrative across the dissertation rather than just in a discussion section.]

Abstract
In about 250 words (less than half a page) summarise the aim(s), significance, the data and methods, and major findings. This paragraph is in 12 point Times New Roman.

Acknowledgements (optional)
Most students will include an acknowledgement to thank people who helped them in the preparation of the dissertation or internship report. Typically these people would include staff at organisations (archives, libraries, companies, etc), key interviewees or a general interviewee note, family and friends, your supervisor, and even quirky thanks to the family cat and dog or Johnny Walker.
Table of contents
The table of contents will include at a minimum all chapters and the starting page for each chapter. If you have a lot of tables and figures, it is also useful to have a separate list of tables and figures and the page on which they appear.
Abbreviations (optional)
If your dissertation or report has many abbreviations or acronyms, such as Moftec, ILO, SAAC, SSE, WTO, WIPO, and so on, it is useful for the reader to have a consolidated list of these so they can check should they forget the meaning of any particular abbreviation.

Chapters
Organise your chapters 1, 2, 3 ?K n.
• Chapter 1: Introduction
• Chapter 2: ?K
• ?K
• Chapter n: Conclusion
The number of chapters will vary from dissertation to dissertation, but typically number five or six for an UG or PG coursework dissertation.
Glossary (optional)
Glossaries are not used that often now because we can easily include Chinese characters in the main text of the dissertation. In the past it was common to have a glossary organised alphabetically in pinyin and the equivalent Chinese characters.
Appendices (optional)
Not all dissertations or reports will have an appendix or appendices. Appendices are used to include essential information that is unwieldy to include in the main chapters of the dissertation. For example, your survey or questionnaire instrument, your interview schedule and so on. Do not include irrelevant data or data from common sources, such as tables in the Chinese Statistical Yearbook. Your supervisor can advise you on what material to include in an appendix.
Bibliography
List all sources consulted for the dissertation. It is typical to divide the bibliography into sections. For example, if you have used a lot of newspapers or web sites, you should have a section for these separate from the academic books and articles you have consulted.
• Section A: Newspapers and Websites
• Section B: List of Interviewees
• Section C: Journal Articles and Books
Please focus on one arugement and stick to the topic question.
Don’t have to put many theory in dissertation but please develop the topic question deeply.
Please use Data sources, population pyramid and comparison of secondary data from China and other countries.
A comparative analysis would be prefer. Use Japan and India to compare.
China is like stepping on Japan history, aging problem. labour shortage, increase in migrants wages.
While India economy is raising up, because of young population increasing rapidly.
Try to put Lewis Turning Point theory in the dissertation if appropriate.

suggest implications which can prolong demographic dividend in China by comparing different countries for example.
Must include Author Cai Fung work in the dissertation.
