Which government policy is based on the assumption that organizations will not change discriminatory practices unless they are forced to do so?

The government policy based on the assumption that organizations will not change discriminatory practices unless compelled to do so is often referred to as affirmative action. This policy aims to promote equal opportunities for historically marginalized groups by requiring organizations, particularly in employment and education, to actively implement measures that counteract discrimination. Affirmative action may include quotas, targeted recruitment efforts, and other initiatives to ensure diversity and inclusion. The underlying belief is that without such interventions, systemic biases will persist.
