BUREAUCRACY REPRESENTATIVE
NATURE

o Representative bureaucracy suggests that

a public workforce representative of the
people in terms of race, ethnicity, and sex
will help ensure that the interests of all
groups are considered in bureaucratic
decision-making processes.
CORE ARGUMENTS IN
REPRESENTATIVE BUREAUCRACY

 In democratic society, a public bureaucracy must

serve the interests of the people it represents.

 By creating the greater employment

opportunities for those formerly and presently
excluded from public employment, affirmative
action policies increase the representativeness of
bureaucracy.
CORE ARGUMENTS IN
REPRESENTATIVE BUREAUCRACY

 A bureaucracy it truly represents all the

population can best serve the interest of the
people.

 If the representativeness of bureaucracies is

increased, bureaucracies will more greatly serve
the interest of the people
.
BROADENING BASE OF PHILIPPINE
BUREAUCRACY

 Though 'middle class' still dominates the civil

service scenario, along with 'upper', the 'lower'
middle class also is making their presence more
and more which is breaking the earlier 'economic
barrier' of the higher civil services.
 Children of civil servants, academicians,
professionals, etc., still preponderate in the civil
services, though other classes belonging to 'lower-
middle' and 'lower‘ communities are also sending
their wards in increasing number.
BROADENING BASE OF PHILIPPINE
BUREAUCRACY

 More and more scheduled castes/tribes entering

in large numbers in civil service cadres-not only
against reserved quota but also on their merit.

 Other Backward Classes also are following suit

in terms of numerical increase in their
representation in the civil services-which
indicates a good widening of the base of
bureaucracy.
BROADENING BASE OF PHILIPPINE
BUREAUCRACY

 Due to the spread of educational facilities in the

country side, the urban hold is declining and
more and more candidates with rural background
are being inducted in the civil services.

 Civil Service is no longer the monopoly of

'Oxbridge'-type of convent and public school boys
& girls. Since there is now a more even spread of
other educational institutions which are throwing
up greater number of successful candidates in
competitive examinations.
