This overview of recent observations of molecular hydrogen (H2) in outflows from young stars discusses the morphology, the excitation and the kinematics of the H2 gas in these flows. A comparison between the H2 and CO outflows will lead us to the conclusion that highly-collimated jets may drive the latter. We also discuss the mechanisms which can entrain ambient molecular gas into the jet flow.
