This paper studies the stability for bilevel program where the lower-level program is a multiobjective programming problem. As we know, the weakly efficient solution mapping for parametric multiobjective program is not generally lower semicontinuous. We first obtain this semicontinuity under a suitable assumption. Then, a new condition for the lower semicontinuity of the efficient solution mapping of this problem is also obtained. Finally, we get the continuities of the value functions and the solution set mapping for the upper-level problem based on the semicontinuities of solution mappings for the lower-level parametric multiobjective program.

Keywords: Bilevel programs, multiobjective program, stability, semicontinuity.
