Abstract
Some aspects on the star formation in irregular and blue compact galaxies are reviewed. The data recently obtained in the UV for a large sample of galaxies are discussed and confronted with the other traditional methods to determine the Star Formation Rate. Comparisons with the Spiral are also made. The properties of the large star forming HI complexes are discussed. The remarkable morphology of some Blue Compact Galaxies is described based on new very recent high angular resolution data obtained with the VLA. Finally a discussion on the Initial Mass Function based on tlie excitation in HII nebulae is given.
