数字融入对城镇老人幸福度的影响研究——基于CFPS追踪调查数据的实证分析

Research on the Impact of Digital Integration on the Well-Being of Urban Elderly—An Empirical Analysis Based on the CFPS Tracking Survey Data

摘要: 本研究利用2018年和2020年的CFPS调查数据，采用双向固定效应模型验证了数字融入对城镇老人幸福感的影响，并从身体健康、心理健康、休闲娱乐、锻炼和阅读五个方面分析了其机制。结果显示，数字融入显著提升了城镇老人的主观幸福感，特别是心理健康在其中起到中介作用，即数字融入能显著提高老人的心理健康水平，从而提升幸福感。然而，能享受数字融入红利的老人不多。建议提高数字技能培训的普及性与可及性、加快适老化智能技术和产品的研发及推广，以及建立多层次、多渠道的健康和心理支持系统。

Abstract: This study utilized data from the CFPS surveys of 2018 and 2020 and employed a bidirectional fixed-effects model to verify the impact of digital inclusion on the well-being of urban elderly people. It further analyzed the mechanisms from the five aspects of physical health, mental health, leisure activities, exercise, and reading. The results showed that digital inclusion significantly enhances the subjective well-being of urban elderly, with mental health playing a mediating role, meaning digital inclusion notably improves the mental health of the elderly, thereby boosting their overall well-being. However, only a few elderly individuals are able to fully benefit from digital inclusion. It is recommended to enhance the accessibility and availability of digital skills training, accelerate the development and promotion of age-friendly smart technologies and products, and establish a multi-tiered and multi-channel health and mental support system.
