Using U BV CCD photometry, the stellar content of HII regions and young star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds has been studied: (1) the reddenings have been determined, and ages of OB associations and young star clusters have been measured; (2) the stellar initial mass functions have been determined by using the main-sequence luminosity functions; and (3) U BV CCD surface photometry of nine young star clusters has been obtained and their structural properties investigated.
