The population structure shows that 45% of the population is between the ages of 0 to 14. Even though women serve in the police and in the customs, the military service is not open to them yet. Males are eligible for the military service at the age of 18 and there is over 1, 000, 000 young males fit for military service currently. Young males can enlist in the army as volunteers for two years. However, the enlistment process is very selective and among the 96, 586 young adults coming up for eligibility each year, only a handful is picked for the voluntary service which screens further those who will be allowed to pursue a military career. Unlike most armies in West Africa, the Senegalese army is very well educated and ranks among the best-trained armies in Africa. It is in recognition of their professionalism and skills that the Senegalese armed forces have been allowed to serve as members of the United Nations peacekeeping forces for almost 30 years now.
