老年群体数字化生存能力研究

Research on the Digital Survival Ability of the Elderly Population

摘要: 随着信息技术在社会生活应用逐渐泛化，对人们的数字化能力要求逐渐提高。老年群体由于专业知识缺乏和数字化能力不足，融入数字化社会生活困难重重，不仅影响他们生活质量，还可能引发一系列的社会问题。研究受教育水平、收入水平、家庭数字反哺水平以及社交水平四个因素对数字化生存能力的影响，开展影响机制分析，并运用多元线性回归分析进行实证研究。研究结果表明，老年群体数字化生存能力较低，较高的受教育水平、收入水平、家庭数字反哺水平以及社交水平会显著促进老年群体数字生存能力的提高。应采取加大适老化产品研发奖励力度、提升老年群体数字素养和能力、保障老年群体信息安全、家庭数字反哺和强化社交工具适老化改造等举措，推动老年群体顺利融入数字社会。

Abstract: With the gradual generalization of information technology in social life, the demand for people’s digital capabilities is gradually increasing. Due to a lack of professional knowledge and digital capabilities, the elderly population faces numerous difficulties in integrating into digital society, which not only affects their quality of life but may also lead to a series of social problems. Study the impact of four factors: education level, income level, household digital feedback level, and social level on digital survival ability, conduct mechanism analysis, and use multiple linear regression analysis for empirical research. The research results indicate that the digital survival ability of the elderly population is relatively low. A higher level of education, income, family digital feedback, and social skills will significantly promote the improvement of the digital survival ability of the elderly population. Measures should be taken to increase the research and development rewards for aging friendly products, enhance the digital literacy and capabilities of the elderly population, ensure information security for the elderly population, provide digital feedback to families, and strengthen the aging friendly transformation of social tools, in order to promote the smooth integration of the elderly population into the digital society.
