基于有序Logistic模型的老年数字鸿沟影响因素研究

A Study of the Factors Influencing the Digital Dividein Old Age Based on an Ordered Logistic Model

在信息化和人口老龄化的双重时代背景下,老年“数字鸿沟”问题成为学界关注的热点。本文基于2020年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,从个体特征,家庭结构,社会网络三个方面出发,在个体特征中增添了老年人退休后工作参与状况变量,弥补研究空白,从而更全面的建立有序Logistic回归模型来研究影响老年数字鸿沟的因素。研究结果显示,社会经济地位越高的老年人更倾向于使用互联网;相较于从事农业生产和受雇活动的老年人,退休后无工作者更容易接入和使用网络;不同健康水平的老年人在接入互联网的行为上并无显著差异,而记忆力较好的老年人使用互联网的概率相对较高;心理状态越好的老年人更不容易去接触网联网;家庭结构对老年人接入互联网有消极影响;社会网络越丰富的老年人更容易去使用互联网。

In the context of informationization and population aging, the issue of digital divide among the el-derly has become a hot topic in academic circles. Based on the data of the China Family Tracking Survey (CFPS) in 2020, this paper adds the variable of post-retirement work participation status to individual characteristics, family structure and social network to fill the research gap, so as to es-tablish a more comprehensive ordered logistic regression model to study the factors affecting the digital divide among the elderly. The results of the study showed that older adults with higher so-cioeconomic status were more inclined to use the Internet;retired non-workers were more likely to access and use the Internet compared to those engaged in agricultural production and employed activities;there was no significant difference in the behavior of older adults with different health levels in accessing the Internet, while older adults with better memory were relatively more likely to use the Internet;older adults with better psychological status were less likely to the older people with better psychological status are less likely to access the Internet;family structure has a nega-tive impact on the older people’s access to the Internet;the richer the social network, the more likely the older people are to use the Internet.
