Abstract	A survey of male and female school administrators in Pennsylvania reveals that sexual division of labor in household activities differs little from stereotypical role expectations. A survey, mailed to 1,324 male and female administrative incumbents and aspirants, yielded 622 responses for a rate of 47 percent. The survey explored personal characteristics, career pathways, and strategies. Researchers developed the following question: Do hours per week spent by self, by one's partner, or by others on job/career, child care, cleaning house, family finance, food shopping/meal preparation, laundry, outdoor chores, and parental care differ by gender, age, incumbent-aspirant position, children's ages, marital status, partner's occupation, and gender/certificate level? Both genders spend equivalent time on careers, but findings show that women worker longer weeks. Unsurprisingly, these women indicate insufficient time and child care as barriers to career advancement; female incumbents are less likely to have children under 18 than male counterparts. Men spend more time on outdoor chores and women devote more time to household tasks and parental care, even in two-career families. Single person households are mostly headed by women who spend less time on careers and more on household chores than average. As a result of the study it is recommended that school districts take action in three areas (curricula, provision of child care, and job restructuring) in order to provide equitable opportunities for women to become administrators.
