This study was carried
out to predict total fertility rates (TFRs) for Fiji from 2019 to 2030 by
employing the Artificial Neural Networks method using Fiji data on TRFs from
1960 to 2018 obtained from World Bank Online database. The results predict that
the TRFs will be almost constant for Fiji from 2019 to 2030.
