Abstract
The health and reproductive potential of a nation depend on the literacy of the population. Sexual and reproductive health is a deeply personal issue, so people may find it difficult to find accurate information on this topic. This article identifies and study the factors that influence knowledge about fertility, which will provide an important basis for effective public education. The article analyzes the questionnaires of 738 respondents, including 652 women and 86 men. The literacy rate was low compared to Western countries. Men showed a higher awareness of reproductive health. It was also noted, that the respondents who received knowledge from journals, compared to other sources, showed a significant notable difference compared to other sources (television, Internet).
