will create a new voluntary youth military service that should begin by mid-2026, President Emmanuel Macron said in November. The scheme would last 10 months ‍and be open to 18- and 19-year-olds who would be paid. It aims to engage 3,000 people in 2026, rising to 10,000 by 2030. Macron said his ambition was for the scheme to recruit 50,000 young people by 2035.
