This is the definition of quota sampling, where the interviewer is given a quota or target number of respondents to select based on certain characteristics such as age, gender, or occupation. The final choice of respondents is left up to the interviewer as long as they meet the quota requirements. It is not a random or systematic sampling design, and not based on geographic clusters or areas. While stratified sampling allows for proportional representation of subgroups, it still involves random selection within each stratum.
