However, research in relation to the subject has been limited and, in turn, no studies are reported in relation to the systematization of the scientific literature on the subject. In this sense, the objective of this research is to analyze the impact and modes of use of social networks by young people between 2017-2021. A systematic review was carried out from four stages: planning, selection, extraction and execution.
