Abstract
We present the results of a photometric survey for Be stars in eleven young clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and fourteen young clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. B stars with hydrogen in emission are identified on the basis of their R-H{\alpha} colour. We find that Be star fraction in clusters decreases with cluster age, and also decreases with the metallicity.
