互联网时代下老龄人口再就业新探索

New Exploration of Re-Employment of the Elderly Population in the Internet Era

老龄化是经济社会进步下人口再生产方式转变的结果,是全球的普遍现象,但在我国,人口老龄化规模大、程度深、速度快。随着老龄化进程加快,我国老年人力资源规模持续增长,鼓励老龄人再就业是响应我国实现积极老龄化的重要举措之一,是鼓励老龄人积极面对老年生活、实现自身价值的重要手段之一。互联网时代为社会群体带来了便利与便捷,让人们足不出户也能消费、产出。以数字媒介作为营生手段,可以使老龄人居家实现劳动价值,不用四处劳累奔波。这也面临着跨越数字鸿沟的挑战,老龄人作为数字时代的弱势群体,如果能克服内生性等问题,将更有可能参与到当下的社会中,发挥自身作用为社会发展做出贡献。新时代下,老龄人群的消费水平和社会贡献能力需要被积极引导发挥,而我们当下所需要做的便是探索出有利于老龄人口再就业的新方式。

Aging is the result of the transformation of population reproduction mode under the economic and social progress, which is a universal phenomenon in the world, but in China, the scale of population aging is large, deep and fast. With the acceleration of aging process, the scale of the elderly human resources in China continues to grow, encouraging the elderly re-employment is one of the important measures in response to China’s positive aging, and is one of the important means to encourage the elderly to actively face the old life and realize their own value. The Internet era has brought convenience to social groups, so that people can consume and produce without leaving their homes. Using digital media as a means of making a living can enable the elderly to realize the value of labor at home, without having to work hard around. This also faces the challenge of crossing the digital divide. As a vulnerable group in the digital era, the elderly are more likely to participate in the current society and play their own role to contribute to social development if they can overcome problems such as endogeneity. In the new era, the consumption level and social contribution ability of the elderly need to be actively guided and played, and what we need to do now is to explore new ways to facilitate the re-employment of the elderly population.
