Abstract
The available evidences for the frequency of binaries in clusters and for nearby and halo field stars are reviewed. More emphasis is given to the star-forming regions and star clusters, which have been surveyed in the past years with various techniques. In spite of the large efforts undertaken, the available material is still incomplete at several levels: (1) the survey of cluster members along the main sequence is insufficient, this is especially true for radial velocities, (2) the coverage of separation or periods is incomplete, especially in the period domain from 103 to 104 days for main-sequence stars in open clusters and for periods shorter than 103 days for pre-main-sequence objects, (3) evident biases exist in the samples due to the change of the detection capabilities as a function of luminosity ratios, and separation or periods. All these reasons lead to a complicated situation and one should be very careful when comparing the binary properties over different period domains and primary masses.
