Defense minister says more women would benefit armed forces
Move comes as NATO criticizes Denmark for defense shortcomings
Denmark plans compulsory military conscription for women, as the Nordic country seeks to significantly boost the size of its armed forces.
The move can help Denmark meet its requirements under its NATO membership but it would also be “beneficial” for the military if it had more women employed, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, the country’s defense minister and deputy prime minister, said in an interview with broadcaster TV2.
Currently, women can join on a voluntary basis while men generally are required to serve if they are called on under a lottery system. The new measure has the backing of several women’s organizations and comes as Denmark, like the rest of Europe, provides increasing levels of support to Ukraine in the war to oust Russia from the country.
Well that's one way of increasing your lagging population growth.
