Your GAP(s) will come to light after you review the literature on your topic.
Problem Statement should include:
Use the following headings & subheadings:

Introduction
Literature Review
Theoretical Gaps in the Literature
Problem Statement
How the Problem Statement Addresses the Theoretical Gaps in the Literature
