Abstract:	We used our high-resolution radio images made with VLA of a large number of compact steep-spectrum (CSS) sources selected from well-defined samples of radio sources and the radio data of these samples to explore the evolution of CSSs with time. We suggest that the majority of CSSs are likely to be young sources advancing outwards through an asymmetric inhomogeneous environment to form the larger ones. We examine the symmetry parameters of both CSSs and larger sources and compare these with both analytical and numerical estimates of propagation of jets through an asymmetric environment. We also examine the consistency of CSSs with the unified scheme for radio galaxies and quasars.
