摘要
在数字中国的快速崛起与人口老龄化的迅速发展相伴共存的时代背景下,如何帮助老年人跨越数字鸿沟、融入数字时代,成为社会各界关注的焦点。使用中国老年社会追踪调查2016—2020年数据,探讨中国老年人数字使用极化现象的特征与影响机制。结果发现:第一,我国老年人数字使用集中分布于从不使用、每天使用互联网,呈现数字使用两极化的特征;第二,家中接入网络的客观限制是我国老年人从不使用互联网的显著影响因素;第三,消极的老化态度加剧了老年人数字使用极化现象。网络接入与老化态度互为中介变量。老年人数字使用极化现象,在高龄人群与农村场域中更为凸显。要从夯实客观基础与观念引导上发力,普及互联网基础设施,减轻老年人网络接入的经济负担;践行积极老龄观,以更加积极的政策和行动,引导社会各群体形成对老化的积极态度,推动数字老龄化中国方案的稳健落实。
In the background of the rapid rise of digital China and the rapid development of population aging,how can we help elderly people cross the digital divide and integrate into the digital age has become a focus of attention from all walks of life.This study uses the data of China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey(2016-2020)to discuss the characteristics and influence mechanism of the polarization of digital use among the elderly in China.There are three discoveries.Firstly,the digital use of the elderly in China presents polarization characteristics,which refer to never using the internet and using the internet every day.Secondly,the objective limitation of accessing the internet at home is a significant influencing factor for the elderly who never use the internet in China.Thirdly,negative aging attitudes exacerbate the polarization of digital use in the elderly.Network access and aging attitude are intermediary variables.The polarization phenomenon of digital use among the elderly is more prominent in the elderly population and rural areas.Therefore,it is necessary to work hard on consolidating the objective foundation and guiding concept,popularizing internet infrastructure,and reducing the economic burden of elderly people's network access.We should practice a positive outlook on aging,guide various groups in society to form a positive attitude towards aging,and promote the steady implementation of the digital aging China program.
