Well, here is the conundrum, you conscript people, then you want them to fight, it don't work, that is why, when Argentina invaded the Falkland's and lost, the conscripts just didn't have the stomach for a big fight.
Now, if you were talking on the lines of, you have left school, not gone into firther education, not found a job in 6 months, and have no caring responsibility, then a UK based 'Homeland Workforce' would be ideal, paid more than if they were on the dole, and tasked for doing things, like improving your local community, would be an ideal thing to do.
