We review observational evidence on the interaction between stellar pulsation and evolution. We discuss to what extent observations of pulsating stars with variable amplitudes and pulsation periods have implications on our understanding of stellar structure and evolution. The probable link between mass loss and pulsation in AGB stars and in hot luminous stars appears to be the strongest way in which pulsations affect evolution. We point out the possibility that forced oscillations in the components of binaries may have important consequences on evolution, that could offer an explanation for some classes of peculiar evolved objects.
