In developing countries, young people are not only future leaders but also part of the human capital to achieve development. The unwillingness of young people to choose agricultural jobs is a serious threat to achieving sustainable rural development. The purpose of the research was to analyze the factors affecting the motivation of rural youth to choose agricultural jobs in the Maku free zone. The research was conducted using a survey method and questionnaire tool in 2016. The statistical population included all rural youth aged 15-24 in Maku Free Zone, 128 of whom were selected as samples by random sampling method. Data were analyzed by applying the chi-square test, phi and Eta coefficients, logistic regression, and SPSS software. The results showed that 74.2% of young people are interested in choosing agricultural jobs and 25.8% are interested in choosing non-agricultural jobs. Four variables including, the youth's view of agriculture (with Exp., 4.932), the literacy level of young people (with Exp., 0.538), the literacy level of the respondent's father (with Exp., 0.711), and marriage (with Exp., 1.350) explained their choice for agricultural jobs. Therefore, it is suggested that governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions, while giving importance to the agricultural sector in macro-politics and introducing successful models of agriculture promote the value of work and employment in the agricultural sector so that, it is considered as part of the norms of the society. In addition, using free zone potential, the government can help their employment in the agricultural field by allocating land and water, providing facilities, and developing transformational and complementary industries.
