In
this research article, the ANN approach was applied to analyze TFR in Carbo
Verde. 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 Carbo Verde. The results of the
study indicate that annual total fertility rates in Carbo Verde
are likely to decline slightly over the out-of-sample period. Therefore, the
government should create more youth friendly health facilities to improve
access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services among adolescents and
young adults.
