我国老年数字鸿沟研究综述

Overview of Research on the Digital Divide of the Elderly in China

摘要: 信息时代的快速发展使得数字化生活方式成为常态，老年群体如何享受数字红利，更好地融入数字社会这一问题亟待解决。从老年数字鸿沟的定义、理论、现状、成因、对策等方面，对学界关于老年数字鸿沟的研究成果进行回顾发现，关于老年数字鸿沟的研究已经形成了比较丰富的理论阐述和实证研究，但也存在一些不足：实证研究更多的是针对少数东部地区发达城市，缺乏针对中西部农村地区的实证研究，对理论的研究也局限于部分学科，还有待结合多学科理论对老年数字鸿沟进行全面的、综合的、更深层次的分析，为相关部门出台更加有针对性的数字适老化政策提供智力支撑。

Abstract: The rapid development of the information age has made digital lifestyles become the norm, and the problem of how the elderly can enjoy digital dividends and better integrate into the digital society needs to be solved urgently. From the aspects of definition, theory, current situation, causes and countermeasures of the digital divide in the elderly, the review of the research results of the academic community on the digital divide of the elderly shows that the research on the digital divide of the elderly has formed a relatively rich theoretical elaboration and empirical research, but there are also some shortcomings: empirical research is more for a few developed cities in the eastern region, lack of empirical research for rural areas in the central and western regions, and the research on theory is also limited to some disciplines. Comprehensive and deeper analysis provides intellectual support for relevant departments to introduce more targeted digital aging policies.
