Exploring the intersection of minimum income protection, digitalisation, and discretion

Description

The paper examines the interplay between minimum income protection, digitalization, and discretion. Digitalisation of access to social assistance can have benefits of digitalization, such as improving efficiency, but also raises concerns about its potential to rigidify procedures and limit individual flexibility. The paper explores the role of human involvement in algorithmic decision-making processes and the consequential tension between standardisation and professional judgment when the implementation of minimum income schemes. By analyzing policy documents, legal texts, and literature from various domains, the study aims to develop a more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of human intervention and discretion in automated decision-making processes within the context of minimum income protection.
