The aim of the challenge is to measure current predictability of fertility outcomes in the Netherlands to advance our understanding of fertility. The PreFer data challenge focuses on the following task: for people aged 18-45 in 2020, predict who will have a(nother) child within the following three years (2021-2023) based on the data up to and including 2020. In the challenge, multiple research teams use two unique data sources to make predictions: the modules and waves from the longitudinal LISS Core Study representing a random representative sample of the Dutch population, and administrative data from Statistics Netherlands covering the entire Dutch population. Comparing and interpreting the models created in the challenge will help quantify the existing knowledge and gain insights.
