Civil mobilization

{{Short description|Legal compulsion for civilians to work}}

Civil mobilization is the legal compulsion for civilians to work, in distinction to military mobilization. It has been used on a number of occasions by a number of governments. This generally makes striking illegal for the duration of the mobilization.
