Predicting Total Fertility Rates for Turkmenistan Using Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract

This study predicted total fertility rates (TFRs) for Turkmenistan from 2019 to 2030 using Artificial Neural Networks employing data on TFRs for Turkmenistan from 1960 to 2018. The results of the projected TFRs oscillated, slightly increasing and decreasing, declining from 3.1 in 2019 to 3 in 2030.
