Abstract :

Women are one of the most important factors in maintaining economic prosperity and the stability of society. Women's employment is an important part of any country's economy. Women have a valuable place in Islam. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role of women's employment in the economy and family rights. This research has been done in the form of content analysis and qualitative study of grounded theory in an exploratory way. The role of women in the home economy was done in the form of 3 stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. According to the research results, the most important roles of women in the economy and family rights in rural society include economic productivity, processing and packaging, economic efficiency and production. Therefore, paying attention to the important role of women in economic development and ultimately sustainable development will pave the way for the flourishing of the capabilities of this important sector in society.
