Executive Summary
The World Justice Project (WJP) has produced the WJP Justice Data Graphical Report I and II,* a comprehensive statistical analysis based on the WJP Global Legal Needs Survey, and other sources. This report, Part II in the series, focuses on two primary audiences: first, the stakeholders that operate on the global stage, to continue making the case for peoplecentered justice at that level; and, second, stakeholders operating at the country level in order to inform policymaking. To this end, the WJP Justice Data Graphical Report presents its findings at the country level, which are then aggregated to provide global messages on the status of access to justice.
In a nutshell, the Dissecting the Justice Gap in 104 Countries: WJP Justice Data Graphical Report I1 presents an analysis of the population-based incidence and severity of legal problems at the country level. It is also a stocktake of Indicator 16.3.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 62 countries; country-level estimates of the justice gap for 104 countries; and an enhanced national analysis of the economic costs of legal problems in terms of gross domestic product (GDP).
