Quotaism

Quotaism is the concept of organising 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. Quotaism applies to the whole country and is enforced by legislation on all public and private entities.
Implementation.
South Africa.
Local trade unions commonly use the term "Absolute representation" in this regard.
Criticism.
Quota distribution does not necessarily fit the real composition of the population;
It is complicated to keep to a quota system in equilibrium since the demographics are continually changing. Most quota systems are based on national census data, which is tends to be collected once every 5-10 years.
Leaving positions unfilled in state departments can have a negative effect on service delivery. This is a very serious concern when applied in police forces of countries with high crime figures. This can also lead to slow economic growth and social mobility pigeonholing.
Quota systems can have a discriminative effect on minorities;
