We present the results of a model aimed at estimating the extinction in late type galaxies. This model is based on the comparison between the escaped light (UV-optical-NIR emission) and the dust re-radiation (FIR emission from IRAS). The model is applied to a sample of 18 nearby UV selected starburst galaxies. Most galaxies of our sample exhibit a rather low mean extinction with only ~60% of the stellar emission converted to FIR. This result has direct implications for the detection of the rest frame UV emission of high redshift star-forming galaxies: if they are similar to local starburst galaxies no major populations of young stars exist hidden in the UV and revealed in the far IR.
