Predicting Future Total Fertility Rates for Haiti Using Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract
This study intended
to predict future total fertility rates (TFRs) for Haiti from 2019 to 2030
using Artificial Neural Networks. Data on Haiti’s TFRs from 1960 to 2018 which
was obtained from the World Bank Online database was used. The future TFRs are
predicted to fall throughout the out of sample period from 3.1 in 2019 to 2.9
in 2030.
