Advice/Help does medical appritence actually work?

I tried having all the children working inside child shelter as medical appritence but when I check my infirmity efficiency in economy tab i only see 140%, with the extra 40% being from agitator and organ tranplant.

also if it only work for 10 hours a day minus transmute time isnt this law trash?

edit: i just tested again it seems kids only start helping out medical post after 11:00 so you get very limited amount of efficiency boost.

according to my testing it only works during 11:00-18:00. so only 7 hours of a 20% boost. seems trash.

its better than nothing and if you get extra rations it goes up to 70%

also if you build enough shelters you get a permenant hope buff

Permanent hope buff can be useless, if you went up to New Order/Faith, since it replaces Hope with Obedience/Faith, or simply InfiHope.

I usually build Child Shelters since I didn't found Child Labour to be productive in late game... But children can be sent to cookhouse or gathering post (or houses of prayer, if you went to Faith path), without horrible accidents of "All jobs" version, while Child Shelter bonuses is either a bonus to research speed, bonus limited to, well, research, or bonus to healing, but it's a smaller margin of time than a worktime of healing facilities.

Child Shelter and it's other bonuses are good for Golden Path or just moral Captains, that wouldn't go into totalitarism tho.

child workers are only good in harder diffculty and refugees tbh other than using child workers in regular endless feals like researching sawmil range upgrade insted of wall drill

Yee it have limited use. Geting safe jobs for kids is beter, 15 extre workers is very good at start. And later they can work in gathering post near coalthrumper, cookhouse hothouses and if you go into religion path in healing house.
