Quotaism[1][2][3] is the concept of organizing society by a quota system, whether by racial, gender, language or another demographic attribute.
The basic premise is to have demographics represented at all levels and aspects of the civilization according to national statistics.
A quota system is often part of any affirmative action policies, but in those cases it is mainly used as a "target", within a single entity.
Directive (EU) 2022/2381 requires that all EU member states pass a national law by 28 December 2024 that requires that by 30 June 2026 women hold at least 40 % of non-executive director positions and at least 33 % of all director positions at listed companies.
Leaving positions unfilled in state departments can have a negative effect on service delivery.
