: Orphanages prevent child mortality from tanking your population if parent satisfaction is low.

: Once they reach age 16, citizens need a university to get "Higher Education."

: Children raised in orphanages can achieve up to 100% loyalty , which later translates to 150% worker productivity .

In Workers & Resources , orphanages act as a safety net for children whose parents are unable to care for them or have passed away.

: Ensure schools and kindergartens are within walking distance of residential blocks. Citizens will not take a bus to drop off a child at kindergarten.

: Essential for allowing parents to go to work. If a child (age 0-6) doesn't have a spot in a kindergarten, one parent must stay home, removing them from the workforce.

: A citizen with 0% loyalty works at only 40% speed , while a well-educated, loyal citizen (often from a well-managed orphanage or school system) works at 150% speed .
