The Small and Large Magellanic Cloud offer a unique environment to study the populations of young ( Myr) X-ray binaries (XRBs). The detailed multi-wavelength studies of these two nearby star-forming galaxies have furthered our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the XRB formation and evolution and provide constraints on current population synthesis models. Here, we present our more recent work on the parameters affecting these systems such as the age, the metallicity and the star-formation rate of their parent stellar populations probed by the use of Infrared (Spitzer), optical (photometric and spectroscopic), and X-ray (Chandra and XMM-Newton) data. Such comprehensive studies provide unique insights on the observational characteristics of young XRBs in other distant star-forming galaxies for which it is not possible to reach these faint luminosity levels. This work is supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX10AH47G issued through the Astrophysics Data Analysis Program.
