This article aims to delve into the social stigma associated with being young with problematic substance abuse and law offense, and its direct implications in the process of building self-concept and occupational choice. To approach this issue, we developed a systematic literature review, in order to clarify whether self-concept acts as a limitation on occupational choice on this population. To develop this research we included thirty five articles, in which relationships between keywords were established. Although it was not possible to find literature to directly answer our initial research proposal, through the articulation of the results, we were able to confirm the supossed raised.
