The issues of young people and people with disabilities stand out in the agendas of social inclusion in contemporaneity, which completes a cycle of laws that guarantee generational rights and inclusion in Brazil. It is in this socio-political situation that, in 2013, the Youth Statute was structured and approved with Law n. 12,852 and, in 2015, Law n. 13,146, which instituted the Statute of Persons with Disabilities. Given the legal amount and social movements, these have been subjects of academic research. This bibliographical work aimed to raise a discussion on how the issues of young people with disabilities are treated in the Youth Statute. The results show that the theme of youth and young people with disabilities in Brazil is intertwined with struggles for rights and that they equally emerge in search of their centrality in the country's social process.

Keywords : Youth Statute; Status of Persons with Disabilities; social rights.
