Countering the Militarisation of Youth is War Resisters' International's answer to changes in military recruitment - the slow end of conscription. With these changes, the armed forces are increasingly competing on the job market, which - admittedly - is getting worse by the day in most countries, but nevertheless the recruitment of sufficient numbers of new soldiers is posing a challenge in most countries in Europe and North America (and beyond).
