老年人数字排斥的生成机理与理论阐释

The Generation Mechanism and Theoretical Interpretation of Digital Exclusion among the Elderly

摘要: 在人口老龄化深度发展与数字社会全面转型的双重时代背景下，老年群体数字融入困境已从单一的技术使用障碍，演变为涵盖生活、社交、公共服务等多领域的新型社会排斥问题。现有研究多聚焦实证调研与对策落地，针对老年人数字排斥的纯理论机理剖析与系统性理论阐释存在明显研究缺口。本文基于文献研究法、理论演绎法与跨学科研究法，在界定核心概念、梳理相关理论的基础上，从接入、使用、素养、权益四个维度拆解老年人数字排斥的具体表征，从个体内生、家庭传导、社会外生三个层面深挖其生成机理，并整合社会排斥理论、数字鸿沟理论、生命历程理论等核心理论，完成多视角理论阐释与系统性分析框架建构，最终提出适配纯理论研究的破解路径。研究旨在弥补老年人数字排斥领域的理论研究短板，为推进老年群体数字包容、实现积极老龄化提供理论支撑。

Abstract: Under the dual background of the deepening of population aging and the comprehensive transformation of the digital society, the digital integration predicament of the elderly has evolved from a single technical usage barrier to a new type of social exclusion problem covering multiple fields such as life, social interaction, and public services. Existing research mainly focuses on empirical investigation and the implementation of countermeasures, with a significant research gap in the pure theoretical mechanism analysis and systematic theoretical interpretation of digital exclusion among the elderly. This paper, based on the literature review method, theoretical deduction method, and interdisciplinary research method, defines the core concepts and sorts out the relevant theories. It dissects the specific manifestations of digital exclusion among the elderly from four dimensions: access, usage, literacy, and rights, and delves into its generation mechanism from three levels: individual endogenous, family transmission, and social exogenous. It integrates core theories such as social exclusion theory, digital divide theory, and life course theory to complete multi-perspective theoretical interpretation and the construction of a systematic analytical framework, and ultimately proposes a solution path suitable for pure theoretical research. The study aims to fill the theoretical research gap in the field of digital exclusion among the elderly and provide theoretical support for promoting digital inclusion among the elderly and achieving active aging.
