Recently I noticed in one of my colonies that when I use the policy members to deport children the population is unaffected and the statistics show that I still have the same amount.
Did you look in the statistics to make sure you actually have children?
Also depending on map size sometimes it can take a few to reflect numbers wise.
Questions?
Concerns?
Feeling lonely?
