This paper begins with an attempt to examine the problem of identifying stellar associations in galaxies in a consistent way, so that meaningful physical comparisons can be made for the population of stellar associations of different galaxies. A compilation of the existing data on associations in other galaxies is given and their properties compared. Questions relating to star formation in stellar associations are discussed, and then the issue of the initial mass function of core clusters, especially those located in giant HII regions, is briefly examined.
