6. Summary: Existing research on representative bureaucracy demonstrates that the link between passive and active representation exists for race but not for sex. Past research on this topic has not, however, taken into account the contextual environment that affects whether sex will translate into gender and lead to active representation in the bureaucracy. This paper creates a framework that specifies the conditions that affect whether passive representation results in active representation for sex and then tests this framework using the case of education. The findings show that passive representation of women in education leads to active representation and that the institutional context affects the extent to which this link between passive and active representation occurs.
