In this research
article, the ANN approach was applied to analyze TFR in Iran. 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 Iran. The results of the study indicate that annual total fertility rates in Iran are likely
to be around 1.9 births per woman over the out-of-sample period. Therefore, the
Iranian government is encouraged to continuously address challenges being faced by adolescents and young
adults in accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services.
