		Conscription is a general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority, but it is most often used in the specific sense of government policies that require (very often, male only) citizens to serve in their armed forces.

		Conscription is seen also signaling inequality; as men are required to risk their life and limb without any compensation while women aren't, it can be viewed as a signal the society values far more the lives of women than those of men, and men are just expendables.

	CONSCRIPTION
		CONSCRIPTION to military service is a system whereby the state requires all men (and in a few cases women) to serve a period in the armed forces.
		Even in the chauvinist atmosphere of the First World War conscription for the battlefield – the position of all Britain’s allies as well as enemies – was resisted until by January 1916 the flood of volunteers was reduced to a trickle, despite social pressure on ‘laggards’ by attempts to shame them.
		In 1941 women were brought into the scope of conscription, but as all women with dependent children were exempt, and many women were informally left in occupations such as nursing or teaching, the number appearing before tribunals (a woman served on the tribunal on such occasions) was relatively few (1700).
