abstract: 'This paper provides comparative analyses across women''s

  employment-status groups to examine how processes of exclusion and

  constrained and adverse inclusion shape different women''s labor market

  opportunities and outcomes in Lucknow. India. It examines under what

  conditions, if at all, women''s labor contributes to household-poverty

  reduction and for which work types paid employment leads to increased

  voice for women in the household, one dimension of a process of

  empowerment. It finds that women''s labor force participation has a

  meager influence on household and Individual level development outcomes

  largely due to the inter-related processes of exclusion and inclusion,

  where social norms and responsibilities for reproductive work can lead

  to constrained inclusion in the labor market, adversely affecting

  women''s terms of incorporation. The findings have relevance for

  programming focusing on improving the range and quality of choices for

  women in the paid economy (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
