Current thinking on the origin, evolution and stability of stellar jets and bipolar flows is reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the driving mechanisms of bipolar molecular and ionised gas outflows from young stellar objects. General constraints on both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic flows are presented. The interrelationship between the protostellar outflows and others such as those associated with powerful, highly collimated outflows in active galactic nuclei are discussed. Intimately connected phenomena such as maser sources and Herbig-Haro objects are briefly treated and finally, areas of potentially interesting future research are indicated.
