Discussion and conclusion
Today, home businesses are one of the vital parts of economic activities that cause great diversity and transformation in the society and economy of any country in terms of creating employment, innovation in the supply of products or services. In recent years, home businesses have grown significantly and have an important role in the gross national product of countries. Considering the importance and role of home businesses in rural development and improving the economic and social conditions of rural households, the Imam Khomeini (RA) Relief Committee has provided facilities and training for home businesses, and in this research, their economic and social effects on rural households were investigated.
The findings of the research showed that the most important economic effects of home businesses were "increasing the level of employment in the village", "increasing the purchasing power of food products" and "booming seasonal employment in the village", which is in line with the results of the research of Yagoubi-Farani and Jalilian. (2014) was consistent.
The results of examining the views of the studied sample in the field of social effects of home businesses showed that the created businesses cause "participation of people in training courses", "using social networks to sell products" and "increasing self-confidence" in expressing personal opinions. This shows that there is a very good potential to use appropriate models to familiarize the villagers with the potential benefits of home businesses, which unfortunately has been neglected until now.
 The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the education variable and the economic effects of home businesses in rural communities. This finding is consistent with the research results of Rahmani and Khodayari (2015) and Agahi et al. (2015). Aramesh et al. (2019) believe that the level of education is effective on the empowerment of rural communities.
The number of family members is another variable that has a positive and significant relationship with the economic effects of home businesses. This finding is consistent with the research results of Mohammad et al. (2021), Izadi et al. (2015) and Najafi and Safa (2013). Having the experience of working in business, while increasing self-confidence in a person, increases their risk-taking power in the implementation of activities.
The findings of the Mann-Whitney test indicate that people who have participated in business-related training classes believe that home businesses have more favorable economic effects. Participating in training classes, while having a positive effect on their business, makes them familiar with the obstacles in the business and they can act in the right way in business-related decisions and planning. Take effective steps to solve it and turn threats into opportunities.
