Women in military

Introduction

The ever increasing interest of young women in military service creates a demand for information on recruitment into the army. More than twenty years of the presence of women in the ranks of the army, resulting from the democratic changes in our country, as well as being a consequence of the inclusion of the structure of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union, where the strategy of "Gender Mainstreaming" is the foundation of social development, change existing opinions on the possibility and the need for development of women's potential in the field of defense.

There are examples from history and experience of other countries alliance shows that women may well function in the Armed Forces. At this stage of the integration of women in SZ no longer questions the presence of women in the different structures of the Armed Forces, the problem is not the availability of the positions and their numbers.

The choice of population other than US would be a stupidity and doesn't make any sense because hardly people from other countries take part in the military specially women. The sample contains 427 respondents who responded to the survey from different age group and levels as discussed above.

Data

Being a questionnaire survey, the data used in the survey is quantitative with nominal and ordinal scales. There are few questions about the gender and residence which were scaled as nominal and other questions being perceptions recorded as ordinal scales (Ware & Brewer,1999, pp. 65-71).
