gender quotas
Enforced diversity ratios
Gender quotas are policies requiring a minimum percentage of positions be filled by members of a particular sex, typically women.
They appear in corporate board requirements, political party candidate lists, and legislative seats.
Proponents argue quotas correct systemic underrepresentation; critics call them tokenism that undermines merit-based selection.
The party adopted gender quotas for its candidate slate.
