Popis: This dataset presents the results of a novel survey that looked at perceptions of military careers among the Brazilian youth. We conducted 2,055 computer assisted web interviews with a national representative sample of participants aged 16 to 26 years old. The data collection was organised around eight analytical categories: 1. Propensity to join the military; 2. Perceptions about military careers; 3. Conservative attitudes and views; 4. Work abilities and aspirations; 5. Perceptions of the job market; 6. Sociodemographic profile; 7. School and career trajectory; and 8. Family background. When asked about joining the Army, we found that 43.9% of respondents were likely to consider pursuing a military career. In general, perceptions towards the military were highly positive, mainly regarding both the expected economic benefits and the social status of the profession. This dataset offers a more comprehensive understanding of the profile of young people inclined to follow military careers and the lasting effects of the health and economic crisis in Brazil on the balance between military and civil sectors.
