Country of origin
Definition
The term "quota" in the context of jobs refers to a predetermined number or percentage of positions that must be filled by individuals from specific groups, often underrepresented or marginalized groups. The purpose of job quotas is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace by ensuring that these groups have fair representation and opportunities.
Is the Quota Fair
On the one hand, it brings more diversity and helps minorities to grow
In the other hand, the job will not go to the person with the remaining qualifications but to the person who meets the quota
