schema:articleBody	Jordan on Wednesday announced the reinstatement of compulsory military service for jobless men aged between 25 and 29, amid rising unemployment since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Men will serve a 12-month stint, made up of three months of military training and nine months of professional and technical training, in a joint scheme launched by the labour and defence ministries. Minister of Labour Nidal al-Batayneh said that 5,000 men would be called up in a first batch this year, with 15,000 in a second round next year. "We are inaugurating together a national project... military service," Prime Minister Omar al-Razzaz said, at a signing ceremony to launch the programme. Jordan abolished compulsory military service in 1991, three years before signing a peace agreement with Israel. Now any man, aged between 25 and 29, in good health and who is not working or studying, faces the prospect of being required to take part in the programme. They will be paid a monthly salary of 100 dinars (140 dollars, 120 euros). "Our youth and our human resources are our most precious assets," Razzaz added. "We will not stand idly by in the face of rising unemployment rates, a global phenomenon in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic." Jordan, a country of some 10 million people, has been hit hard by restrictions imposed to stop the spread of coronavirus. Unemployment rates rose to 23 percent in the first quarter of 2020, according to official figures, up from 19 percent for the same period last year. mah/on/pjm/dwo
