Abstract
The statistical properties of winds from young (pre-main-sequence: PMS) stars are summarized and discussed. One and the same mechanism, possibly related to the process of star formation, appears to be responsible for mass loss in all PMS stars. Moreover, evidence is found that the ionization and the acceleration of the winds of very young stars are produced by processes different from those operating in main sequence and more evolved stars.
