Big data et protection sociale : au-delà de la lutte contre la fraude, des opportunités à saisir pour améliorer l’accès aux droits

Submitted by pmassetti on

Cairn.info  - Regards 2017/2 (N° 52)  En 2016, les Caisses d’allocations familiales (CAF) ont détecté près de 43 000 fraudes, soit 8 % de plus que l’année précédente, pour un montant de 275 millions d’euros. La Caisse nationale (CNAF) a expliqué cette hausse par l’accroissement de l’efficacité des dispositifs de contrôle et non par l’augmentation de la fraude elle-même. Ces résultats, ajoutés à ceux des années précédentes sont notamment liés au développement du data mining, un procédé qui repose sur le big data.
