摘要: 人口老龄化与数字化转型叠加背景下，老年数字鸿沟已成为影响银发经济发展与老年社会融入的重要议题。本文系统梳理老年数字鸿沟的概念内涵、影响因素与主要研究脉络，重点分析数字接入、数字素养、社会支持及适老化服务等方面的研究进展，总结现有研究在理论整合、群体差异与实践机制中的不足，并展望未来研究方向，以期为促进老年群体数字融入与银发经济高质量发展提供参考。

Abstract: Against the backdrop of the overlapping trends of population aging and digital transformation, the digital divide among older adults has emerged as a critical issue affecting the development of the silver economy and the social integration of the elderly. This paper systematically reviews the conceptual connotations, influencing factors, and main research trajectories of the digital divide among older adults, with a focus on analyzing research progress in areas such as digital access, digital literacy, social support, and age-friendly services. It summarizes the limitations of existing studies in terms of theoretical integration, group heterogeneity, and practical mechanisms, and proposes future research directions, aiming to provide insights for promoting the digital inclusion of older adults and the high-quality development of the silver economy.
