The presence of women in the labor market varies according to the environmental, economic, social, cultural and political conditions in each country, and it depends on a variety of factors such as women's participation, government size and policies, distribution of household income and expenditure, unemployment, family living conditions, level of literacy and other cultural and social factors. The present study seeks to rank the barriers of entrepreneurship development of Baluch women in Saravan County in Sistan and Baluchistan province through using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). This research is a descriptive-analytic study carried out in 2017.
