In the future, 18-year-olds will have to fill out a questionnaire and take part in military service. Although many people support this idea according to one survey, support for “required military service” is much lower.
That Examples of all years In a YouGov survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents approved of the idea of young people serving in the military. In a survey conducted by the German Press Agency, 62 percent of some 2,400 participants said they “somewhat” or “completely” supported the plan.
31 percent said they were “somewhat” or “completely” opposed to this. Seven percent did not provide any information.
The black-red coalition initially agreed to voluntary conscription. To do this, all men aged 18 must fill out a questionnaire and take part in an examination.
One “Compulsory military service” If there are not enough volunteers, respondents surveyed by YouGov were somewhat more skeptical: 53 percent said this was “completely” or “somewhat” appropriate. 37 percent found it “completely” or “somewhat” inappropriate. Ten percent answered “don’t know” or did not provide any information.
The question of whether the federal government should respond to insufficient numbers of volunteers regarding military conscription during this election period 47 percent said yes. As many as 39 percent said that the impact of voluntary military service should be observed over a longer period of time. 14 percent did not dare to make a decision or did not provide any information.
YouGov surveyed 2,387 people between 14 and 18 November. The error tolerance is plus/minus 2.01 percentage points at a share value of 50 percent. With a share value of 5 percent it is 0.87 points.
