Projecting Total Fertility Rates for Jordan Using Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract
This study intended
to predict total fertility rates (TFR) for Jordan using Artificial Neural
Networks from 2019 to 2030. Jordanian data on TFRs from World Bank Online
database from 1960 to 2018 was used. Results show that TFRs for Jordan is
predicted to slightly increase from 3.2 to 3.4 in 2027 before declining to 3.2
by 2030.
