This study
was conducted to project future total fertility rates (TFRs) from 2019 to 2030
in Solomon Islands using Artificial Neural Networks using data on past TFRs
from 1960 to 2018. Results obtained reveal that TFRs for Solomon Islands are
expected to remain constant at around 4.4 throughout the out of sample period.
