Abstract:
Reaching a sustainable development one which seeks to enrich human excellence, reduce inequality and promote social justice is impossible without considering women and their multi-dimensional roles in society. Today, women are not merely housewives. They are skilled applicants with university degrees who have even excelled men in this area, in a way that over half of university seats are occupied by female students. However, they still have little share in the job market. Due to scarcity of government investment resources, entrepreneurship is the best way for solving this unemployment problem. Therefore, due to the importance of identifying motivations for entrepreneurship, this paper seeks to identify these motivations in female students of economics and accounting departments of Universityof Yazd. The paper also uses TOPSIS Fuzzy approach for ranking the introduced motivations for entrepreneurship. The results of the paper show that preparing a better life is the main motivation for entrepreneurship among female students. Also, becoming a useful person for society, independence, and identifying one’s talents and capabilities are found as the next most important motives for entrepreneurship by women. At the end, the paper provides some suggestions for developing women entrepreneurship in Iran.
