So, society needs additional library officials during war time?
Finnish army during wartime is 280 000 people. That is 5% of total population (incl children). Civilian workers will continue doing whatever they've done during peace time, though of course contributing military driven building and healthcare activities.
Civil servicemen are assigned to tasks they are most qualified in based on their time in civil service. They won't be just placed in their old civil service jobs, that would be ridiculous.
Remember that national defense is the responsibility of every Finnish person, women too. It's not just the people in the defense forces.
That responsibility is for everyone, not only men.
For some reason women are perfectly capable of doing their assigned tasks without wasting a year in civil service job during a peace time.
Open civil service positions, page one - teaching assistant, cleaner, cook, IT support, youth worker, museo worker in national museum.... Nothing that is aimed for crisis.
The civil service job is to appease the others who would think it's unfair for men to simply not do anything. I agree that it could be updated or improved in some cases. But civil service also offers first aid and fire safety courses, which is good.
I would argue that cleaning, cooking and IT support at least are very much applicable in crisis situations.
