Data based on interviews in a random sample of 245 wives and 264 husbands in 1967 at Munster were gathered to get some indications of the dimensions of family structure: division of labor and power allocation. Data indicate that labor in these urban families is arranged mostly along the traditional task areas of husband and wife, although attitudes favor interchangeable roles. There is an increase in degree of mixed role allocation when daily life makes it necessary, as in the case of working wives. Whereas attitudes are traditional in power allocation, the degree of "power balance" is fairly high. The influence of the wife in decision making varies according to the social status of the husband and the external role experiences of the wife: wives from lower social strata have more influence than others although they are more conservative in attitude. A wife's influence also increases with her experience in, wage earning and her attitude of refusal towards unrestricted male authority.
