Mobilization's Demographic Paradox
The contradiction between the government's call to "be fruitful and multiply" and simultaneous military mobilization creates noticeable demographic strain. On one hand, the state emphasizes the need to increase the number of citizens, support families, and replenish the working-age population. On the other hand, mass mobilization forces a large portion of adults and the working population out of civilian life, which undermines the potential for reproduction and leads to significant socio-economic shifts. This is evident, for example, in the changing population structure: mobilization not only affects the military sphere but also results in the systematic redistribution of human and material resources, subsequently influencing birth and mortality rates.
