We have carried out a comparative analysis of the evolution of integrated photometric parameters of young star-forming complexes in spiral and irregular galaxies and Galactic open clusters. We find that when the interstellar extinction is properly taken into account, the extragalactic complexes observed as giant Hii regions and open clusters in the Milky Way form a single evolutionary sequence of objects evolving at different stages.
