This article argues that task-specific measures of the division of household labor form a gender hierarchy that reflects dimensions of meaning in the organization of household work. We contrast these measures to the commonly used time. share and Likert scale measures, which assume all tasks are interchangeable. Using guttman scaling. we test the unidimensionality of this task hierarcy. Using odds ratios. we measure relationships between specific tasks, and using logistic regression. we see differences in correlates of 11llslxv:ds' participation by task and interrelationships among tasks that persist. controlling for gender ideology and socioeconomic factors. This work should encourage development of measures of change in the segregation of household tasks by gender.
