数字社会高龄劳动者就业:困境、变量与路径

Employment of Elderly Workers in the Digital Society:Constraints,Variables,and Pathways

随着我国人口老龄化趋势的演进,劳动力供给出现短缺,促进高龄劳动者就业势在必行。然而在人工智能等数字化浪潮的冲击下,就业技能逐渐数字化,而大多数高龄劳动者却存在数字贫困。导致高龄劳动者在数字社会遭遇就业困境的原因,既有主观上守旧理念的约束,又有客观上三对变量的制约。为促进数字社会高龄劳动者就业,应着力提高高龄劳动者数字技能、优化用人单位用工规则以及厘定政府的财力支援与就业服务责任。

With the progression of population aging in China,there is a shortage of labor supply,making it imperative to promote the employment of elderly workers.However,in the face of the digitalization wave,including artificial intelligence,employment skills are becoming increasingly digitized,leaving many elderly workers digitally impoverished.This paper examines the reasons why elderly workers encounter employment challenges in the digital society,which are influenced by both subjective constraints stemming from conservative beliefs and objective constraints from three sets of variables.The measures for promoting the employment of elderly workers in the digital society primarily involve advocating for their enhancement of digital skills,optimizing employment rules of employers,and defining the government’s financial support and employment service responsibilities.
