N2  - This research examines women's work and shifts among factory, domestic service, sex work, and urban micro credit sectors in Bangladesh using a continuum of formal-informal-household labor. We explore women's income generating strategies and possible alternatives during global restructuring and changes in trade agreements. The end of Multi-Fibre Agreement in 2004 threatens women's garment employment and Bangladesh's dependence on garments to produce 76 percent of its export earnings.<p />
