In
this research article, the ANN approach was applied to analyze TFR in Slovenia.
The employed annual data covers the period 1960-2018 and the out-of-sample
period ranges over the period 2019-2030. The residuals and forecast evaluation
criteria (Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model indicate that the model is
stable in forecasting TFR in Slovenia. The results of the study indicate that annual total
fertility rates in Slovenia are likely to remain around 2 births per woman over
the out-of-sample period. Therefore, the
authorities in Slovenia should create more demand for family planning services and address
challenges being faced by adolescents and young adults in accessing sexual and
reproductive health (SRH) services
as well as women empowerment.
