German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government on Wednesday approved a draft law that would compel young men to answer a survey about their readiness to serve in the German military, the Bundeswehr.

Young women will have the option of filling out the survey should they wish to.

Some 300,000 boys will turn 18 in Germany next year, and would have to tell the government if they would be interested in serving or not.
