Subsidised legal aid; persons with additions

This table contains data on persons using second-line-subsidised legal aid, distinguished by type of addition, jurisdiction, gender, age, origin, household composition and socio-economic category.

Personal data of persons who are registered without identifiable personal information or who do not appear in the Basic Records Persons (BRP) are missing. These people are not counted in the table. This applies in particular to asylum, immigration law and ex officio additions.

As the number of unique legal aid users per type of addition and jurisdiction is presented per reporting year, the number of persons per jurisdiction exceeds the total number of persons and the number by type of addition and jurisdiction to more than the total number per type of addition.
A person who has had an addition more than once within a reporting year is counted only once in the total number of persons with additions. In addition, for each jurisdiction to which he has had an addition, this person shall be counted once in the relevant jurisdiction. From reporting year 2012, this person will also be counted once per type of addition and within each jurisdiction.
Example: a person who receives two regular additions in the field of civil law in 2012 and three light advice additions in the field of administrative law, becomes
— Numbered once in total,
— 1 time in total civil law,
— Once in total administrative law,
— 1 time in Regular total,
— 1 time in Light advice total,
— Once in civil law and
— 1 time in Light Advisory Administrative Law.

CBS is moving on to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where one’s parents were born. The word ‘migration background’ is no longer used. The main division of Western/Non-Western is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin.

Data available from: 2022.

Amendments as of November 2023:
