The author provides updates for 1985 for eight tables published in an earlier study by Jean-Claude Chasteland concerning perceptions and realities of population dynamics in developing countries. Information is presented in tabular form on perceived and observed rates of population growth, population policies, quantitative goals for fertility reduction, official government positions on observed life expectancies and fertility rates, access to family planning, and government viewpoints concerning population distribution and migration. Some of the data are provided for regions of the world and some for selected developing countries.
