		| Abstract: | 
		Mass loss  and  variability  are  two  linked,  fundamental 
  properties  of
   evolved stars. In this paper, I review our current understanding of
   these processes, with a particular focus on how observations and
   models are used to constrain reliable mass loss prescriptions for
   stellar evolution and population synthesis models. |
