Abstract: The choice between labour and capital arises for military expenditures necessary for national security. Economic constraints play a major role, because the military sector is highly technological and aims for the highest performance for its equipment, which has become very expensive. Should conscription be maintained? Is a highly capital-intensive defence function preferable? The countries that spend the most in military terms have higher per capita spending than other types of defence and the army is traditionally more "labour intensive".
