  A friend of mine was hoping to get a part time job at an orphanage after her exams, though I think most are actually volunteers. Still, any idea if there's any orphanages around?

  birth rates and orphans are not really related.

  Look at China and U will see why.

   

  Even in singapore...Shit happens...and there are orphans around...and pseudo-orphans if U like.

  But we are talking about orphan in Sg and the birth rate and orphan are quite related. 
  
  Of course everytime got unwanted pregnancy one lah
  but I also think childless couple would quickly snap them up.

  My sister waited so long for a child from the orphanage that she gave up and looked to Malaysia for one.....

  no no...by definition...birth rate is the ratio between births and individuals in a specified population and time ...It has nothing to do with whether the baby is an orphan or not.
