Our photometric investigation of a number of open clusters with age younger than 109 years confirms the hypothesis of the universality of the zero-age luminosity function of open clusters.

A universal initial mass function (IMF) is not intuitive, but so far no convincing evidence for a variable IMF exists. The detection of systematic variations of the IMF with star-forming conditions would be the Rosetta Stone for star formation. In this contribution an average or Galactic-field IMF
